The review

This release presents a reworked version of the set with the same name by Pignose Records 118 (2006); here Cpt Acid declicked the vinyl tracks, applied phase, level, pitch correction and a new equalization. On the piano tracks the job was accomplished with Music Rebalance to bring Keith`s voice a bit up in the mix ; also better source files were located for some (many) tracks, then 3 bonus tracks at the end of second disc were added. Sound is great, packaging not, the front is ok, the back is missing, got to use the old Pignose one.
