Reviews :
“My shelves contain a dozen versions of this - vinyl, reissues, the singles, CDs up the keister - but damn, this download has air, space and authenticity. If the waves at the beginning of "Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay" don't transport you, then you've never been to the seaside.” - Ken Kessler, Hi-fi News & Record Review
