That's why I went back and bought the original un-remastered CD's of the first 4 albums and glad I held back on buying the KtF and TD remasters. Even more glad BoG and SitT didn't get the "remastered" treatment.

Apparently the vinyl edition of Greatest Hits (as with most vinyl albums old and new) doesn't suffer from a lot of compression but I don't have a state-of-the-art turntable equipment nor do I really want to dig out the best part of £100 to find out for sure.

What about the Bounce Super Audio CD's? Can anyone out there confirm if the mastering (compression/dynamics) are any better than the regular CD?
