    I'm not too HIGH on this pressing. It's fine, but sounds pretty digital. The other National vinyl I have sounds better than this one--more definition, clarity and space. Anyway, it'll do, tho. Good enough, I suppose.

      This pressing sounds good. Some crackling sounds here and there but nothing to worry about. Records are perfectly flat and there is no surface noise. High quality pressing with deep bass and large ambiance. Recommended pressing.
