Reviews

ReadyBeast Mar 15, 2020
Edited 4 years ago
The 2020 digital version released on Qobuz states that this is the 2002 remaster of the album. And Simon Heyworth gets credited as master technician for both the 2002 (2003) reissue and the 2020 reissue. Did he really remaster the same album twice ? Or is it the same audio that's available on the two editions ?
Is it the same thing for the physical release ? The hype sticker on the box set might be misleading publicity saying "4 cds newly remastered". Does anyone have any information regarding this ?
