I picked up a mint copy of "Crime of the Century" as some of you have picked.. and I must say..

WOW!

I had owned the CD in the past but the vinyl experience exposed a very translucent, ethereal quality that you can't get to on CD. The entire album sounded much more psychedelic and dreamy, with incredible detail in the mixes that were right there for you to hear. It was clearly mixed for the "audiophile" in mind.

A agree, an absolute sonic masterpiece that can surely rival any rock recording I have ever heard.
