  If this a Carollton copy ... Carrollton wasn't opened till 1981 ... There's two copies under 1977 that are Carrollton ... What's confusing is my copy which was second hand but mint ... It had one of those cheap curve white inserts and was a CRC TI which is here but is not even complete of the info that's on the dead wax . ( my guess it's a Terre Haute ) ... I just found out after 30 years the poster was tucked inside and that made go wow ... I don't see that many posters in the 1977 copies because they made them as inserts .... Then um quite a few copies here have no matrix numbers at all . Anything I can complain about .

  This 24-bit 96kHz remaster, coming 41 years after its debut, sounds amazing. The clarity, dynamics, and mix are perfect. The soundstage is very wide and deep, making speakers nearly disappear. Vocals and instruments are located with laser precision.

• 
  Fantastic pressing !!! Bass, tops, soundstage ... you need to get rid of mold first from this Jap edition to start appreciate amazing sound ! :)

• 
  it sounds good, very much an older pressing. flimsy sleeve and all

• 
  The mastering on this has an overall trebly and scooped kind of tonality which highlights hiss and noise by default, but anyone with a setup that allows them to a/b this with the digital versions online will hear a night and day difference.
  This album has always sounded kind of murky to me, however the mastering on this does a great job of making it sound hi fidelity. Deep, warm and detailed compared to the cold, muffled and overly midrangey sound of the digital version. Never heard any other version of this on vinyl but compared to other reviews on here, this pressing is more than good enough.
  Goes without saying that this album is ELP at their finest and Karn Evil 9 is genius.

• 
  There are two versions of the foldout poster which came with this, each featuring a noticeably different photo of Keith Emerson. Does anyone have any details/knowledge of this ? Both of my early copies feature the same photo of KE on the poster (the one illustrated above on this page), so I'm presuming it's possible to assume which photo came later.

  The SACD version is brickwalled like a shitty average CD. The CD version I guess is the same and the DSD is sourced for sure from the same PCM master. A shame and a missed opportunity for a great remastering.

  It is so noisy that at first I've thought my phono preamp was broken.
  Moreover, this digital master is horrible.
  Pick it only if you like the pictures and you want to hang it on the wall. 😉

• 
  Epic prog is a defining moment for the music but this disc falls short on the low end. Where is should be epic and resonant it just rolls off. Too bad.

• 
  For a counterfeit it certainly looks authentic and the sound is huge like the music. Every instrument has space and it never gets cluttered. Excellent.
