Thanks Mickyw! for the recommendation. Just got a copy of this pressing, an unplayed promo copy. By far the best U2 pressing I have so far. I've tried a variety of pressings for October including the UK first pressing and this is the best. Punchy bass, sharp treble, great soundstage depth. Way better than the modern day muddy 180 gram pressings. I'm a fan of early U2 back when they were less polished, more wild, and they still let Larry play the drums! :) Btw also see the first Canadian pressings of Rattle and Hum and the Unforgettable Fire. Very good as well. -
Very nice pressing indeed! No pops/crackles/hiss even after many years of play! Beats any later pressings!
