Comment Early Australian pre-barcode release, made by Disctronics B (which started manufacturing discs in 1987, hence the assumed date of this release). Despite the DR scores, the sound is pretty terrible - most tracks are electronically reprocessed fake stereo, using either the "bass in one channel, treble in another" method (Banana Boat Song) or the "delay the channels by several milliseconds" approach (Island In The Sun). I suppose if you had the original reprocessed LP, this would be interesting as a nostalgia item or curiosity, but I'd much prefer the original mono.
