But which version of the album have they used?
The original, or the remixed and re-recorded zebra-sleeve version?

I don't know because I haven't listened to the album itself yet. I've still got FG2 on heavy rotation. What I remember of the notes indicates it's probably the latter.

Just had a look at CD1 through Audacity.
I think it's exactly the same version that was on the 2000 re-release, as are the tracks on CD2 that were on that release too.
The CD3 BBC session tracks are louder than on the Peel Sessions Plus CD.

Have a listen to the start of Went Crazy. That's the easiest place to tell which mix/version they've used. On the original vinyl LP (with the band sleeve) the guitar riff is not muted after the first three strokes, but plays the following strum-and-slide (as heard later in both mixes) under the whole of the intro.

It's the remixed/re-recorded version. It's EXACTLY the same mastering of Kilimanjaro that is on the 2000 CD release.

That's disappointing. Always preferred the original overall myself.

Why? I ask because I don't have that version on cd.

Well it may have a lot to do with that being the one I heard first, Carlos.
You always have a soft spot for your first girlfriend, don't you? ; )
But also I just thought it was better. Someone mentioned the intro to Went Crazy. That was the most notable difference IIRC, but there were a few tracks that sounded different. It's hard to explain what the difference was exactly - not a more echoey sound exactly but something like that.

Inspired by this thread, I put on my cd of the previous edition, especially as its the same mix, and the new 3-cd set is now on Spotify and..... it still sounds really tinny and 80s, and not in a good way.
By chance on Spotify I came across the version of Books by solo Julian on the Leperskin compilation - where on earth is that from? Its fantastic - tons better than the Teardrops one...

I know what you mean, budy! BTW, I have a soft spot for the first, the second, the third (and so on) girlfriends ;-)
