Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Top Condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Geoff –
A strong collection of songs and easily one of McCartney’s finest post-Beatles albums! The follow-up to ‘Band on the Run’, the beautifully produced ‘Venus and Mars’ finds Macca & Wings rocking with the same confident attitude. In fact, the opening two numbers (the title track leading into "Rock Show”) are a salute to rock music in general. Any song that name-checks Jimmy Page has got to be cool! The rest of the album stays buoyant with catchy, classic numbers, such as "Magento and Titanium Man”, "Spirits of Ancient Egypt," and "Listen to What the Man Said". Overall ‘Venus and Mars’ is a strong collection of songs and easily one of McCartney’s finest post-Beatles albums.
