    Such a great album. I have 2 copies of it with my one copy having a completely different front/back cover. Does anyone have any idea which cover is the original one? I'm just curious.

      Very nice sounding album, nice bass and soundstage. The sibilance on "Suddenly'' B5 is a nuisance,

        This press thumps. Great soundstage and excellent punchiness in the bottom end. Sounds great.
