Comment Matrix/Runout: 724385522626 1-1-3 MASTERED BY EMI MFG. Mastering SID Code: IFPI L043 Mould SID Code: ifpi l656 This is the original CD, and yes, it sounds great. Reply to original comment: Thank you for the info. Buyers beware: the original UK and German pressings have DR6... http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/87558 http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/87559 Edit: It seems there are two releases even in the U.S. and both have the same date on them. The one you want (this one) has the catalog number CDP 7243 8 55226 2 8 instead of OLE 197-2 on the spine, but it does say OLE 197-2 on the back on the "fine print". You can also tell this one apart as it has both Matador and Capital Records on the back, whereas the bad master has just Matador on the back.
