    A run-down house up my street had an estate sale and I bought about 150 records from the 80s, many still with shrink wrap. Got home and discovered this gem in the collection. Cost me $.60 per record. Ive never been a huge fan of DK but its a cool one to have in my collection now.

      So was this version actually remastered as the hype sticker says?
