I'm seeing low prices on this. Looking forward to eventually getting a copy!

Got my copy today finally thru amazon. Love it!!!! Excellent remastering (not in the least bit brickwalled). This is easily one of the best reissues in years.

Indeed a very good remaster. The way it should be. Now, I like the album and other stuff more than back in the day.

Received mine as a birthday gift; the best of all possible worlds! Thoroughly excellent in every regard. Impressed at the interviews in the booklet. The producer and the A+R who signed them? Thorough!
