Musically, I consider it the pinnacle of Emperors. But despite a fair bit of expected tape-hiss, I find the sonics quite acceptable.Or was it the tape hiss downside you were referring to?
(My mind tends to filter it out after a few minutes...)Have you heard this reading on a non-US vinyl pressing?
(Or the SONY ESSENTIAL CLASSICS Compact Disc?)
The sound is pretty good for the era IMHO.I could be wrong, but I wonder if this is another example of poor US vinyl pressing...?
