Before buying this, I had a few modern reissues in my collection, and they sounded clean but lacked that vintage charm. After playing this Columbia record, I can say it's a whole different experience—the music has a warmth and depth that's missing from newer versions. I picked it up as a gift for my husband, who's a big fan of that era, and he was thrilled. The title track is a standout, with a fun, futuristic vibe that still holds up. Most likely, it's a great addition for any collector, though it's not perfect due to those occasional noises. I'd recommend it if you're after something genuine from the past.
- Pros: The sound quality is pretty good, it feels like stepping back into the eighties with every play. The cover art is iconic and makes for a nice display piece, and being an original pressing adds a sense of authenticity that reissues just don't have.
- Cons: The vinyl has a few minor surface noises that pop up now and then, which can be a bit distracting during quieter parts. It's fairly expensive for what it is, and the packaging is a bit flimsy, so I worry about long-term durability.
