        I have a lot of these rhino hifis, and this is considered one of the best. I’m a big Kevin gray fan, but this didn’t wow me exactly. I don’t have another copy to compare, but I feel like it lacks low end. Otherwise very good.

          Never ever start a listening session with this record. Save it for last. Every other album in your collection will sound kinda dull after having listened to this exceptional remaster.
          Maybe it’s the only reason not to get one…
          This album devaluates an entire collection just by its sound quality!
          And isn’t this music great and still sounding modern with its unique arrangements ?
          Really outstanding!!!

            This and television will be the next rhino high fidelity represses. Don't pay these prices for a numbered copy.. .

              Rhino just reissued Black Sabbaths debut. Fingers crossed they do the same with this one!

                Simply the best!!! I think Kevin Gray updated his system again. Rock titles in this series sounds even much more superior than what he did in last few years. One of the greatest sounding record in my collection.

                    Reference level remaster. This is a pressing that will truly test your system and capture your focus. No matter how much power applied, it remains balanced, transparent and dynamic across every track. #0010

                      Great work here. Must say, however, original pressing is still extremely satisfying. Prolly wouldn’t have paid up for this copy but still glad I own it. Will be collector’s item but I think this release goes to show how great the original pressing was. Rhino’s Candy-o release is a much bigger improvement on original IMHO.
