    Edited one year ago
    Astoundingly good pressing and sound quality. For 80's electronic synth-pop there are some incredible dynamics,great spatial imaging and separation. Only bought it for New Song...and got a pleasant surprise overall. Mint copy and sleeve for £7 from Top Discogs seller-Left Legged Pineapple. Highly recommended.

      In the eighties some artists made 1 album who exceeded normal quality... this album of Howard Jones is one of them
