What is meant by IMPORT?


Besides the obvious what is meant by a record being an IMPORT?

are they better, worse, what guidelines should be used when buying?

Thank you

If it's a RECORD LP then the import will probably not be better than the ORIGINAL U.S. pressing.
The only import pressing of a Dan record I found to be better was the German pressing of Royal Scam as the U.S. pressings all sucked (from noisy vinyl).
If you can afford it, buy both and A/B 'em for yourself.. it's a good test of listening ability and fun too.
I've done that with alot of records, had 3 or 4 different imports of some of my favorite records attempting to find the best sounding.

Nope, that's wrong.

Both of my original ABC yellow label pressings are dead quiet.

Sorry.
