Early Steps (RKTBR25)

The new LP mastering on this pressing really makes the low end punch through clearly. It's a nice solid slab of black wax that sits flat on the platter. Perfect addition to my Rocktober haul this year.

The heavyweight black vinyl feels substantial in hand, and the new mastering really brings out the low-end punch I hadn't noticed before. Spinning this at home feels like rediscovering the album.

The pressing is dead quiet, which lets all the subtle details in the mastering breathe. I’ve been spinning it non-stop since it arrived—the black vinyl looks great and the soundstage feels much wider than my old CD copy.
