    This really is excellent. I have the original Danish and German 1st presses, which aren't that hard to find, but this 2011 is analogue-sourced and sounds absolutely fine. I'd grab it. The German is a bit bassier, but that's all.

      Played a few times. Not impressed. Thin sound and unstable. Will get an old pressing to compare, but I would stay away from this issue.

        Bad experience with this remaster... Sounds awful, also with the same reissue of The Visitors.

          Too much in the high frequency. But overal a nice pressing.

            This reissue doesn't sound so hot. The remaster seems iffy at best.
