Sound quality on the Original Edition LP is nothing short of a revelation. The previous reissues evidently had reverb added to the original mixes, which are presented here crisp, punchy and completely dry. The four tracks previously omitted do have audible tape damage (the alleged reason for their omission) but it's not distracting and fortunately no attempt has been made to "repair" it. A must-own.
