Remaster has rightly become and insult for the audiophile as usually this meant the use of digital compression in order to improve (actually screw) original analogue era albums. This is a 2011 reissue and remastered and I am glad to inform this is a prime example of loudness war reversal, the album got as much dynamics as any album before 1995. Though haters are correct, there are slight changes to the original 80s *. There is obviously an extended bass that is not the same as added bass, it is very mild altogether. People seem to have a bad memory of what you were able to play on a 70's amplifier or car tape player.Today, we have more capabilities and this remaster takes advantage of it; without over altering the originals. For some modern equipment this reissue would be the ideal version and I am personally happy enough to ignore the future 1/2 speed master. For the record in my opinion this is a good example of Vinyl sounding better than streaming or CD versions. * I own the Readers Digest 1982 compilation hence I have a great bar to compare later versions.

Being really picky here, but this remastered pressing produces no real improvement to the sound quality, when compared with my original 1980s pressing. It sounds as though it's been remastered using more "limiting" than the original recording. The result may sound "better" on lesser sound systems.
