The Verdict:
- 0th Place: UK 6th Pressing (1978). Side A is a great and pleasant listen, and Side B is both harmonic and exciting.
- 1st Place: Germany (1977). Really a close call. While it has some issues, I still prefer most of the EQ choices for this German version which makes it an exciting listen with great bass, singing and details. So for me, it’s a tiny bit better than the…
- 2nd Place: UK 7th Pressing (1982). While Side A is of the same goodness as 1st Place, Side B is just too tame and reserved for my taste.
- 3rd Place: Japan (1973). This version is seriously lacking in lower midrange and bass, and sounds rather muffled in comparison.
