Cool find!
Yeah, I think this original orange press has wider response sound though. I have not played it in so many years so I cannot remember for certain. It was re-released by other bootleggers later on and even eventually on CD, but they were usually a bootleg copy of another bootleg copy so the sound quality kept getting worse and worse as time went on. People have uploaded those tracks of it here on the net and a few of the tracks on YouTube, but they sound horrible.

I’m going to rip this original press from a turntable into digital format and see how it comes out. I bought one of the Teac TN-400S models with the UBS output, but I don’t know how great that will sound yet.
