It's a shame that this keeps happening, these albums mean so much to me on a personal level. And how they're being presented currently is insane. They sound terrible, have legitimate huge, and outright unacceptable errors (not just talking about this remaster, also: Rendez-Vous tape distortion, Geometry missing audio, China LP having pressed in audio skips and the lost goes on) and rather than postponing the entire thing, and start from the best available sources from scratch. Here we are with an adjusted version of the reworked tracks rather than the originals. But this has been a running topic for over ten years now on this very forum as well. Back in 2015 we had thus very exact same discussion and it's an endless loop. It's a shame really
