Edited 12 hours agoThis first Winchester pressing with Burbank / palm trees labels also came with a Hype-sticker. see the pictures i posted -
Edited 7 months agoMy copy has the first version of the runouts listed, with exception of having the - < too. It seems to be the only runout with the WW-1 #2 on side 1, but mine have the symbols too. I assume the runout notes above omitting the symbols are a mistake.
Great sounding record, takes me back to middle school when I bought this when it was released. Dropped the needle and dropped my jaw. Amazing. -
NEED HELP
my release has JAMIE'S CRYIN' as track 2 on Side 1 and ERUPTION as track 1 on Side 2.
its a Euro release -
This US pressing sounds amazing. The sound is fresh, punchy, airy and crispy. This is superb sound quality. -
this pressing straight up sounds like a different album compared to digital.
this thing has balls, apple music lossless sounds like a joke compared to this, although it does have a touch more bass -
I have a near mint copy of this pressing, and my feelings are…mixed. Yes, the high frequencies are definitely THERE, and the dynamics are STELLAR - sounds like Alex is playing his cymbals for the first time ever - but… I CANNOT hear Michael Anthony! The bass is seriously lacking on this pressing, and that’s too bad bc he’s a driving force to the music . If you want clarity and dynamics, by means this is a great pressing to own, but if you want the hard edge this record was made to give, I would seek out the 2015 remaster: it’s cut from the 3/4 master tape, and sounds fantastic! -

This is an unbelievable pressing of the record, find a clean copy and you’ll be done. Incredible huge soundstage. The music comes off the disc like an assault on your very existence, not for the timid audiophile. No bad songs all killer … you know the rest . -
This very much compares to my first West Coast promo pressing. The Winchester, pressing might take the cake for me. Every instrument is literally in your face! That bass, damn Michael Anthony. This thumps hard! Well done Ted Templeman ! -
Honestly as someone who isnt the biggest audiophile (i listened with Bluetooth headphones) this may be one of the best experiences ive ever had spinning a vinyl the sound really is special. I am really sure theres no pressing that will come close to this
