The UK reissue (Polydor) from 1983 is too trebly /peaky to me. As the original UK editions of "Electric Ladyland" go for astronomical prices, what later editions (UK or others) would you recommend ? Thanks in advance.

Bruce has said he wanted the album to sound like Roy Orbison as produced by Phil Spector. Spectors' "Wall Of Sound" recordings are a real mess---lots of echo chamber and reverb plate, and mixed and EQ'd to sound "good" on a car radio. Oy!

No pressing I've found sounding great neither German or UK... CD actually sounds better.
