Reviews

Really shoddy pressing qualities. First one had non fills and badly warped. Second has only a hint of non fill and is flat enough to be unaffected. Sound is ok, if abit rolled off.
Truly, the first few albums of KATG need proper audiophile reissuing!!
This is not worth a penny more than the £15 asking price
