    Live album is poorly mastered. Hi Hat sound too loud..

      Disappointed with the inner sleeves which are wrinkled due to the glue used to secure the inner plastic.
      It’s a 130€ not a 30€ box. Please.

        Why would anyone spend 120 bucks for an album we already have and a live recording is beyond me. Especially when the CD version only costs 20. I guess one could call that "money for nothing"...

          Mastered by John Dent/Bob Ludwig so the same as 2014? It sounds punchy but treble silky. Mid is a bit stiff but the album always sounded a little sterile anyway. Sounds lively and engaging. Money For Nothing is awesome and the detail on Your Latest Trick is superb.
          I’d like to compare with Showell mastering which I thought we’d be getting in this edition. 2020 is on the BIA sleeve, and speaking of which, the cover artwork is pretty poor like a bad colour photocopy compared to other versions.
          I already have the Ricker which sounds very good to me too but this John Dent/Bob Ludwig sounds fantastic the more u listen to it and makes me smile from the joy only music can give.
