Brilliant sounding pressing. The vocals are crystal clear and there's so much separation between the instruments. Also it's dirt cheap. Interested in seeing if the 2008 Rhino reissue sounds as good/better.

Here is another LP with runouts:
A:"BS-1-2561- WW4"
B:"BS-2-2561- WW3"
also there is some kind of symbol like Y etched in both runouts that look slike -----◁
Any guess about one existing submission here?
