A beautiful sounding album, a must for his fans. According to an article I read, Ryan Adams said: 

 

"I played acoustic on all of them and sang and played live to tape. We recorded the album ALL 100 percent ANALOG (2″ tape mixed to 1/4″). A computer didn’t touch this album. It has very few overdubs..."

 

I first bought the US pressing and thought its sound was fine but slightly muddy. Then I heard someone commented the EU MPO pressing being sonically superior. Just at the end of last year, I started to search for it but this first UK/EU MPO pressing has proven quite hard to get. Most of the places I have looked sell the US pressing.

 

I purchased one from Amazon UK (then £28.90) which was listed limited edition, due to the high price I expected the UK/EU deluxe box but what I received was the exact US single LP I already have. So I returned it and get a refund. I then purchased a copy from Amazon Germany. The same thing happened and again, I returned it!

 

I then bought it from a seller on Discogs at a higher price. At least now I could get the seller to send me a picture and make sure that it is, in fact, a Made in the EU, MPO pressing (see picture). I bought two copies just in case I got a noisy one, but they both played very quietly with only a few very minor surface noise.

 

Yes, the sonic is far superior to the US pressing and the effort was worth it. 

 

*Selling at the price I have paid $50.
