    My copy has a reprise of "We Have Heaven" at the end of side 2. Do other copies have this?

      This release sounds fantastic. Excellent tone, instrument separation, and bass. The best I have ever heard this album.

        I have a variant of this pressing. Slight differences in the record labels and back cover. It sounds huge. Thick bass, dynamic, emotionally involving.

        Edit: My copy has insufferable IGD and sibilance in parts. Not sure how I originally heard past that. It has been cleaned, too. The mastering is another matter, but with the wear and tear it's immaterial. I'll be looking to replace this one with a clean reissue.
