    Excellent pressing, very nice sounding, pretty cool gold-etched letters and stripes on the cover. Yes, made in Czech but who cares if it’s good

      Excellent pressing, flat and sounds fantastic. Delightful songs as well.

        Flat vinyl and free of pops, sounds is beautiful. Gold stripes on the frontcover are an nice touch.
