It's a recent UK stereo pressing, from the original stereo mixes, not the revised mixes from the 70s. Also, it really is an album that benefits hugely from vinyl, and not just for the cover. It gives his voice this particular quality that just somehow makes it even more incredible. Which, prior to buying it, I wouldn’t have thought was possible. I can’t honestly tell whether the vinyl does make that much of a difference, or if it’s just that I’ve changed since I last played it loud and really concentrated. It’s something of a personal measuring stick for me, and it seems to change every time I hear it, which is partially why I love it so much. But LP definitely seems to be the format that suits it best.
