This remaster sounds way better than the original, to much treble on that, this has less and more bass for a balanced sound. Pressing is very good, no noise that I could hear and the 16 page booklet is very cool and nice to have. All in all it's worth getting a copy. -
Album is thick and quiet, however the songs still sound like they always did - some of them have decent imaging and separation, but others sound like the "treble was turned up to 11" just like the original. Whole is a little on the bright side and somewhat lacking in bass punch.

I had the cd of this album some time ago and recall it sounding like someone turned the treble knob to 11. This 2008 remaster on vinyl sounds incredible. You can still tell its a bit more on the high side, but much much more balanced and it sounds amazing. This pressing is also quite good with very little noise. I listened to the original pre-2008 release on amazon music hd and it confirmed my earlier memory of a super bright recording. This remaster is what the original should have sounded like.
