      Great Reissue, great Vinyl -TOP. For me better than the MSFL Reissue.

        the pressing is flat and noiseless. the mix/production is well balanced. artwork is fine. Looks good, sounds good - a well done reissue!

          Sounds pretty darn good, flat, quiet, I don't know why these MOV pressings don't get more love...maybe they don't have the marketing power of some of the more "audiophile" companies... Have the clash box set, bringing it all back home, highway 61 revisited, and blonde on blonde, and they're all superb pressings, flat, quiet, and they sound great... I have multiple original pressings of the Dylan albums and at this point my MOVs are the go-to players... And with all the recent MoFi revelations (and their house "smiley face EQ" sound) these are all still reasonably priced, and to my ears preferable sound wise.

              What a great quiet and dynamic pressing. Brilliant album that is a first listen to me!

                I've always wanted to own this vinyl and it didn't disappoint. Perfectly flat and the recording is outstanding with no pops or crackles. Truly a classic......

                  Really enjoy this copy, sound is superb. After hearing this one I'm not in a rush to unseal and listen to the MoFi version I also have.

                      Great pressing from Music on Vinyl. Sounds absolutely terrific to me although I have nothing to compare it to.
