UK NICK WEBB MASTERED FIRST PRESSING VINYL LP WITH LYRIC INNER SLEEVE.

This first mastering by Nick Webb is the best of any UK release of this album. A more refined, less loud cut than Wally Traugott's USA first pressing, it has glorious dynamics and a firm, tight bottom end. Until you own either a Traugott USA first pressing or a Webb UK one, you've never heard how amazing this album sounds.
