Comment The original American CD of this album includes several of the tracks that were not on the UK version until the 2000 remaster. The bonus tracks that later appeared on the 2000 remaster are noticeably more dynamic on the 1988 US version and lack the brickwalling that was present on the remaster. Aside from the bonus of this copy including unremastered bonus tracks, I would say that the EQ on the standard tracks sounds very marginally better on the British CD, though both are extremely similar sounding.
