I got a really warped, but very clean, copy of Back in the USA for free a few weeks back. It was pressed in the UK on Atlantic in 1977. It is not very good in terms of sonics, but not terrible either. It is the only copy I've heard, but that makes two of us underwhelmed by the sound (but not the music).

I have early US pressings of both Back in the USA & High Time and neither is a sonic masterpiece. High Time is better IMO, a GP (George Piros) on both sides. Of course they both rock quite nicely but a bit thin sounding.

  I had a crack at a pristine first pressing of Back in the USA a few years ago, but $150 was out of my league. I'll be looking to Sundazed when some money frees up.

    the pressing is perfect, the sound is just a bit thin.
    The music itself is not to be missed. "Teenage Lust," and "The American Ruse" are worth the $15 just by themselves.
