    this one sounds way better than the original mix/master. Just listen to the drums... that makes the biggest difference!

      Mine comes with the same two inner sleeves, but the records are right.

        About my copy. Sound is OK. Second disc is warped a lot. Set includes two identical OIS with mp3 code.

          Almost two decades has ed since the very first time I listened this masterpiece. This remastered clearly achieved an unique experience. Some nuances brought upfront definitely marks this new version as excellent as the original version. This new remastered version stands out the universe of remastered records that adds a genuine value to this masterpiece.

              Happy with this one. Not warped, sounds great. Glad for other fans aswell, to have this album in a more airy cakeform and it not beeing compressed and stylized to smithereens. Well balanced, expresses itself great on my system where the snare finds a tad more punch and pronounciation. \m/

                Even though the songs are amazing and musicians plays like athletes, this mastering is really not an audiophile one. I have the original CD and this remaster sounds to my humble hears a little bit better. The frequency range is more "V shaped" with boosted bass & treble. The records are mostly flat with little surface noise but music is compressed, bold and hard sounding; This is definitly a lo-fi recording! I would have enjoy more room to give some castle like ambiance and a more dynamic presentation. I don't think there is a benefit over the remastered CD.

                  It gives the same version but with signet Booklet by Dani. I don't know how limited these is. I have this record.

                    The sound quality is amazing. Has to be one of the best sounding records in my collection. Maybe since this was remastered from an original analog recording? I have no idea but very great pressing and the release as a whole is very good.

                      Great sound but I have some complaints about pressing quality. Records are warped a little and it's not completely quiet.
