| 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  Flawed pressing still beautiful, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Tales From Topographic Oceans (180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl/ Ltd. Ed./ Gatefold Cover) (Vinyl) The poor quality control of new vinyl records never ceases to amaze me. Here we have an "audiophile" pressing from a dedicated record company, of one of progressive rock's finest hours. Well, 80 minutes, in fact. The first three sides impressed me greatly; they are totally flawless sides, with an even more beautiful restoration of the original master sound than I could have hoped for. The fourth side, well, it's not perfect. It's not even really acceptable. Back in the eighties when records were still pressed routinely by all the labels, your basic record from the local record store would generally be in much better condition than this side.

I am very picky and I know the original vinyl well and I am tracking at 1.7 grams so take that into account but if you are looking for High quality audio this is not it. It was a major let down and I... Read more  CLASSIC YES!, By Beatle Guy (Pepperland) - See all my reviews This review is from: Tales From Topographic Oceans (180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl/ Ltd.
