The Universal language is really suspicious and deliberately vague. "All Analog", "AAA", and "Original Master Tapes" are very compelling marketing claims at this point, and since re-issues are run by marketing people in the first place, these claims would not be missed in the reissue of a historic album.

I haven't heard the US OG, but I have this EU OG and it just sounds (1) absolutely incredible and (2) better than every other pressing I've ever owned and heard, including the ORG/BG (which I think is overrated, possibly due to Mike Esposito's excellent shootout - the reason I ever bought it in the first place). I've also owned the B2B and the 20th and 30th anniversary pressings, and a few others. They're not in the same solar system as my EU OG.Matrix / Runout (Variant 2 - Side B, runout ): B0034257-01-B/00602438461806-B 230526E2 1080313 STERLING RKS B0034257-01-B Both are written mastered by Howie Weinberg at masterdisk.
