    I have a MINT copy of the Japanese pressing. I've always loved Japanese
vinyl and pressings. I find MM to be low in the mastering which in turn
creates a hiss when you increase the volume. I've had a few copies of the
Japanese pressing and have always come up with the same problem. When you
re-listen let me know if you have a different opinion. I'd be curious.
