Negative Positive
Title: Horrible sound quality!! Avoid at all costs!!
Review: Yikes! This Geffen edition from Japan utilizes the same horrible master as the one Hip-O Select issued last year in which they managed to use the wrong tapes to produce the CD. It is LOADED with tape hiss, so much so that I could not get through the entire disc before turning it off. I have been in touch with Hip-O's parent company (Universal) and they acknowledged the mistake, saying that a vastly improved edition with the correct master tapes will soon be in stores, but after nearly a year it has yet to appear and when it does the consumer may not be able to distinguish between the two editions. It's hard to understand a mistake like this not being caught before production. But it's worse that a company would allow unsuspecting consumers to buy this garbage and not rectify the matter after all this time. Great music, bad business practice. I'm keeping my vinyl!
