' LALENA' the quietest track on the album plays superbly with only a hint of light faint crackle here and there. The rest of the album plays MINT- !!!.   The stunning quality of this 1st pressing is simply outstanding!. The beautiful stereo, leaps out at you, playing with super depth and warmth,  each track is mesmerising!!!!!, WOW a great Rock / Psych album
