Title: NOT THE BEST AUDIO VERSION AVAILABLE
Product review: Although this disc states "24-bit mastering", it is sonically inferior to UK import released in 1999. The entire recording sounds harsh, tinny, and has no bottom-end compared to the UK disc.Also, an oddity on this disc: While I was A/B'ing the two versions, I noticed that the left & right channels on "Autumn" are reversed.I have two other Strawbs compilations, and the UK "Hero & Heroine" disc. The channels match in all three discs. So, that anamoly is another undesirable aspect of this disc."Hero & Heroine" is not only the best album the Strawbs ever released, it is one of the best prog-albums ever. Obviously, whoever compiled this CD agrees, because the majority of the material presented here is from that album.I would strongly urge a Strawbs neophyte to obtain H&H; and bypass this collection.
