Beautiful copy of the original 1970 German pressing of the MC5’s classic second LP, Back in the USA, on Atlantic ATL-50346. The German pressing and the Japanese pressing are said to have the finest sound quality, essentially audiophile pressings. Certainly this copy sounds incredible. The disc is very nearly mint and plays flawlessly and just beautifully. A few light sleeve scuffs but barely. The flimsy laminated cover has a bit of light wear, with some soft creasing in spots and a bit of discoloration at the bottom edge. Still very nice. This is a great sounding original audiophile pressing that sounds better than the usual US pressings for sure.
