Anybody have this? What's your opinion? This is the 1st quality pressing for me and I'm a little disappointed. The drums, guitars, and overall sound stage is much better than on my CD but the vocals are really lacking on this release? Is it just me or would others agree? I did a blind test with my wife and she did not like the vinyl copy because the vocal were washed out. On other albums this might not be as big a deal but on this vinyl release I think there is a lot of passion missing.

    Hey Easy

    I have the CD & SACD & 45 rpm Vinyl, and to me it don't sound that way. I had the CD playing at same time as the Vinyl and I switched between the 2 and they sound really close and yes the Analog sound better musically with more detail but the vocals were really so close i couldn't tell much difference. I did not compare the SACD though.
    I have been super happy with this version and it was my 1st 45 rpm vinyl I ever bought which lead me to buying more.
