    fabbe112. What are you talking about. I’m playing it now and The Universal sounds fantastic. Fresh, lively, but without anhint of shrillness. A great sounding record overall

      Mostly a descent pressing. But The Universal sounds disappointingly bad on my copy. A bit too distorted and poor dynamics.
