You can't always get what you want. Thought the mix that appeared on the UK export stereo version was ugly (see earlier post), so when spotting this German in a bin a while ago I couldn't help hoping for a miracle, or at least something slightly better. Germany was by far the biggest record market in Europe back then, offering a large number of domestic pressings that sometimes presented better outcome than both US and UK. Though in this case - no. Both probably offsprings from the same orginal tapes, but to my ears the UK comes out a tiny bit louder and clearer with slightly better balance while this German sounds even less natural. Not a huge difference if hearing them from an adjacent location, yet obvious in the listening chair with ears open wide. Not the audible lift I was hoping for, but still nice to have a HörZu Stones original in the collection so it'll stay. German 1976 reissue on Nova (622429 AO). First press had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover. (RÅ*) (GÖXÄ*)
