This “second edition” is a remix of the original album. “But why remix it”?, you might ask. I suppose the number one reason is “Because Robert Fripp could”. Since Fripp owns the record company he could do pretty much anything he wants to. Ask any musician whether they are happy with the mix of their album that they recorded 5 years ago and I bet a large number of them would jump at the chance of remixing their recording. Is this second mix better than the first? Opinions might vary, but objectively lots of the full band tracks, in other words, the tracks with drums DO sound “better” - especially the drums, which are more dynamic, have more slam, and are louder. Also the vocals sound clearer and louder, in fact everything sounds a bit cleaner and more intelligible. Not drastically, but I notice it. Did this album NEED to be remixed? No. Does it sound better, in some places, yes. MUST you acquire this 2nd version? I did, but I’m a very devoted Fripp fan. A nut. I try to hear and have everything he recorded, to the best of my ability (and wallet). I have the third edition, too, on a double LP that includes the original version.
