Comment Sounds like it was made from a high-generation tape, or maybe even a retail LP - muffled sound with some tracks clearly playing more slowly than they should (with the worst offenders being 'Good Times' and 'My Forbidden Lover', which has audible tape drag). Maybe the fact that pretty much all the tracks are the 12"/extended versions has something to do with it? I also own the more recent Japanese SHM-CD (WPCR-26224) and although the mastering is different, the source is unfortunately the same.
