As some audiophiles are keenly aware, Classic Record titles that were issued on 180 gram vinyl (or of less weight), sounded much better than the later 200 gram versions of the same title. Apparently this has to do with the vinyl presses that were used to make the LPs when they switched over to 200 gram vinyl. These machines were never set up to handle the extra thick, 200 gram versions. And to simply flip from 180 to 200 proved very problematic. The vinyl was noisy. There were pressing flaws. All in all, an inferior product when compared to the heavy, but much better sounding 180 gram vinyl. Classic Records came out with all kinds of variants for their 200 gram pressings - remember all that? If you lived through that period, you likely were wondering why there were so many versions of the same music being made by the same company! It was simply that the 200 gram versions were inferior to the earlier pressings made on 180 gram vinyl. This is the reason why the 180 gram versions not only cost much more to acquire now, but they did, in fact, sound much better.
This album is one of a series that were for Export Only. They were not available in the US directly from Classic Records.
