Yes, comparing to the 1983 release is night and day. This remaster is flat and not at all dynamic. Very low output, It’s truly dreadful. Seek out an original 80s release if you want this on vinyl. Such a shame because it’s one of Mikes best releases.

EU pressing from 1983 sound’s louder and it is more dynamic than this remastered reissue. Original pressings are easy to find and don’t cost much.
