This box seems to have "remixed" remasters. There are some complaints about dynamic range in the CD version, but cant see any comments about the vinyl version yet. DR is a religion on SH Forums, but my ears have been in too many PA stacks over the years (minor tinitus). so I probably won't have a problem. I cant tell the difference between FLAC/WAV and 320 MP3 in a blind test, and listen to a lot of "poorly" or Lo-Fi recorded stuff anyway. I did think Iggy's Raw Power CD remix was a horrendous headache, though, and Royal Trux' Accelerator CD (love the songs), so my ears may not be completely gone.
I've got the ReR Wumme Years box, but I want the extras on here, so very likely to order this. Despite my comments above, it would be good to compare a couple of tracks on the ReR box with the Bureau B first though, to see what the difference is, or if I can even tell.
Actually, if they sound a bit different, that could be a selling point for me.
There are only 2,000 vinyl and 1,000 CD sets (sold out at source), so not long to decide...
If you're in the States, Forced Exposure expect to have stock on 05 November.
