Listening is important. Some import pressings have been better than US pressings, and some have been worse. I find Xiekitchen's statement that vinyl quality has a lot to do with how good an LP sounds to be true more often than not. Island Records UK has pressed many excellent LP's that outshine their US counterparts, to cite one example. Whether you want to pay a premium for that is always your own choice (what is the price of better sound?)--Mrmitch
