What about the mastering on the 2019 reissue? I'm listening to the LP my mother bought me when I was 10 (Les Rita Mitsouko - The No Comprendo) and had to drastically cut highs and mids and boost lows to make it pleasant to my ears.

If you don't groove on ¨ Andy ¨, you got to be handicapped !
The Talking Heads could've written that song...

There is a Virgin U.S. promo cassette. Catalog No 4-90616. J-card is basic info with black letters on white. Tape is clear with grey sticker that says it was duplicated at WEA Manufacturing. Dolby.

Apart from «C ‘est comme ca» there’ s really no Good songs here. Maybe «Andy» on the remix album is better, can’t remember. The rest of the songs are just too weak. I bought this album on sale many years ago and gave it way, then I bought it back the other day..mistake.
