Japanese Remaster Versus Original

[TEMcGee]

Hey everyone,
I've been looking to get myself a copy of ABWH and I've noticed there are two versions floating around, a Japanese remaster in one of those LP style sleeves, and the original CD version. I was just wondering if there was much of a difference, sound quality-wise, between the two, and if you'd recommend looking a little harder to get the Japanese one?

Any thoughts would be helpful, thanks!

Hi TEMcGee--

Just one person's experience, but...I had the Japanese remaster for a time, and wound up selling it. I found it to be too exaggerated in the highs and lows. The original Arista CD is quieter, but overall won the test!

Hope this helps.

I have it back order too...for 3 months now...can't wait to hear it. I think the album could do with a little more low...(bass that is)

Yeah, hmm, I would tend to lean toward the Arista anyway, simply for cost and availability, any other thoughts anyone?
