This 24-bit 176.4-kHz remaster sounds amazing. The clarity, dynamics, and mix are perfect. The soundstage is very wide and deep, making speakers nearly disappear. The vocals and instruments are located with laser precision, while sounding utterly natural. This sounds like a High Dynamic Range album, I don't think there's any compression at all. Excellent!
I don't know the back story about how BS&T released 2 landmark albums in 1968...?
