A terrific pressing (as all Mercury "Promos" are). Open, airy, dynamic and very delicate. Instruments have "air" and presence around them and each has it's space strongly identified. Tonality is exceptional and the music has a feeling of "smoothness" to it.
Some very low-level tape "hiss and crackle" and a few random "ticks" which are only audible on the quietest passages.

Each record is washed on a VPI cleaning machine using a proprietary 3-5 agent process which is determined by the needs of the individual record. Each record is then listened to 100% to insure that the posted description is exactly what you can expect to get
