Whats on your turntable tonight?
Thanks Steve. It's been awhile since I listened to my Asylum copy but I think both it and the Japan pressing had more dynamic range and a less hot top end.

Steve, I'm not sure what "pp" is, at least in the context you're using it.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Steve, I have a couple of other copies of BSF, including a nice Japan pressing. I think they're more dynamic than the Friday Music pressing.
