Also, Mo’s snare drum and Lou’s voice sounded more realistic on the ‘85 pressing. This one also sounds good but not as good as the 1985 version.

The 1985 trumps this by a smidge just because its more clear and alive sounding, plus Femme Fatale sounded fantastic on that record, which is usually not the case on every other record. All of them sound bad, except for this and the 1985 pressing. I own a 1985 Sterling pressing, a 1970’s mono reissue, and I’ve had a 1967 Stereo pressing before. I watched M45’s video on this and i think he’s never heard this album before if he thinks this is complete dogshit. I actually think this sounds really good- Considering this is a poor recording, as evident on Run Run Run and Femme Fatale.

So between March and April 1967, the album was suddenly withdrawn from trade and shops.
