Default Damned remasters...

It actually looks like the original CD was mastered with more level
compression than the vinyl - which is here. Very odd - may be just
the way the different DAW programmes present the horizontal scale
that causes this, though.


Looks like it's just displayed differently. The spikes at the beginning
of the track hit almost full scale, just like on the CD.

Always thought the toms on the intro to that track didn't have quite the
same impact as I'd remembered from 1986 (although I was only 8 when it
came out!) - now I can see why!

Right, going to take the non-remastered CD and play it on my Arcam kit
now. :-)
