Has anyone picked up the Classic reissue of "Born to Run"?

64.165.218.7

I've never heard a good pressing of this album. I'm wondering if the recent Classic reissue provides a major improvement in sound.

I bought the Columbia 180 gr. - Kostas P. 13:44:47 12/16/05 (0)
two months ago. It really SUCKS! It's the bad production and not the pressings. It's so crappy that i never listen to both sides...

The Classic is the best there is of this title. It is the most analog sounding of all copies I have had (including an original).

FWIW, the repressing apparently uses the same metal parts as the original pressing. The only differnce is 180g vs 200g.
I have the original pressing. It's probably about as as good as BTR is going to get on vinyl (or any other medium for that matter).

It's OK but there really is no good sounding version. Too much overdubbing and multi-tracking.

  That's too bad. I wish there was a way to fix the muddy mix. Thanks for the reply.
