Hi Mace,
the sound on the Helen Troy is crystal clear. The Anna Belle Caesar does seem a little bassy, but not having had the either U.S. release on Glad Hamp or the Carlton boot to compare it to, I dont know if its anymore bassy than it should be (if that makes sense??)
I dont actually collect pic slv EPs either, it just turned out that these were both cheaper then the equivalent U.S releases when I bought them.
