Kind of disappointed in this one. The mastering is really soft. Really noticeable on the track "Razzmatazz". On my original vinyl there is a really nice tambourine that can be heard. It is now almost unable to be heard. Cymbals are really subdued. There is no pop to this recording now. I bought the 2021 40th anniversary vinyl that had an even softer EQ (almost like a blanket over the speaker). Though it has some pops and clicks I will be sticking with original version. I find a lot of Kevin Gray's mastering to be like this though.

Just noticed ,it's recorded in "Binaural" .
That makes it more interesting.
