I had the remaster of World Shut your mouth when it came out in 1996 and also still kept the old (polygram i think) original US cd version too. I liked the b-sides of the 96 version but i thought it was a bit too loud and keyed up. I ended up prefering the old version and sold my 96 cd years ago. That being said i often wondered about the 1996 Fried cd as the original Fried cd and even the damn album sound muddy as was said earlier. I listened to fried last night after reading this post and was shocked at how dull and muddy it sounded. I would be interested in the new remaster but these days remasters can be really great or really awful.
