Sounds good!

"I had better luck with this CD than the previous reviewer. I do think this CD sounds better than the original release -- I played it on an HDCD compatible player (this is an HDCD, while the original was not), and the sound is more natural than the original. But it's not a huge improvement, and I'm sure some may not think it worth the extra expense. The disc was in perfect shape (unlike that of the previous reviewer), and the cover artwork/liner notes are faithful to the original LP. But there's nothing really special here -- no bonus tracks, no remixing from the original elements, just the best audio quality version of the original album."

Was really looking forward to this one

"The original CD sounds better to me than this one. I did a pretty in depth comparison on a reference system. The original CD has the correct "weight" on instruments while the re-master does not. It seems like part of the lower mids were scooped out."
