And this hasn't been remastered yet because...?
Paul Watson explained excellently below why this is essential 80's rock (not metal!) but I'm just wondering why the same old 1989 CD hasn't been upgraded yet?Yes, I'm a devout audiophile and a fan of remasters and this CD definitely needs one - this 1989 CD effort has lots of distortion (not the intentional kind), tape hiss, and a very sloppy bottom end (what little there is of it) which desperately needs upgrading. This honestly sounds like it was mastered to CD from a cassette!This CD may actually sound fine to you but if it does, seek out a 1st-pressing vinyl copy. Then you can actually hear this album the way nature intended. The difference, as I like to say, is NOT subtle.
