either listened carefully and or even made a comparison with a European edition of the cd now i am not a sound engineer but in my humble opinion this japanese reissue not so miraculous in sound it sounds like any other cd print there is nothing of sound improvement I say it with absolute conviction it sounds like any other CD print I repeat listened very carefully but there is no sound improvement of any kind so this is my thought if you are a collector is fine but if you have to buy this print to have a better sound quality forget it there is no improvement in the sound think about it before buying it for the sound but the thing that most puzzled me is that the whole series of these remastered reissues of the b 52 do not sound very good think about it if you want an improvement because these reissues don't sound better than the others !!!!!!

Could anyone please share some info about the sound quality of these remasters? Are they notably better and worth getting, or is the improvement only minimal?
Thanks in advance! -
Look closely at the OBI, on the front half: side 2: track 3, you can see "83" On the back half, track 7, you can also see an '83.'
So it does not bode well for "Don't Worry" to finally make its CD debut.
