The question is are the tracks from the masters?

Awesome!!!

Yet another bloody bootleg...

No idea if bootleg but it’s from Hong Kong so going to be Vinyl rips. I’ll stick with my mp3s

This might be a Russian bootleg,but the quality of these Russian bootlegs are really good.
Much better than some of the stuff CRD releases.

If it's the same Russian guy which I believe it is the quality is excellent... although pricey I believe a friend of mine has everything this guy has put out... I bought one ( Cube ) from this Russian seller knowing the quality would be great.

Factory-pressed with great quality inlay. Not to mention an amazing sound - which is the trademark of these re-releases. And it's much cheaper than the original LPs. With no prospects of this stuff being reissued in the foreseeable future it's your only choice if you want to hear them.

The question must be how this CD sounds. There are countless official CDs from masters and everything that sound horrible. And there are vinyl rips that surpass your wildest dreams

Just checking this out..

I think Imaginary Doll is playing too fast. The vinyl rips sound better. Plus this CD leaves of one of the best songs - "I depend on you"

It's not faster - the song was the last on side A, so a vinyl rip simply adds about 20 seconds of silence for some reason, while the running time of the song is the same - 3:46 or so. It sounds brighter, though, with instruments much more defined. But that's how I have heard the song first - so vinyl rip sounds dull to my ears. You may have a different attitude to it.

As for "Depend on you", it is on the third album, not covered by this reissue. What the guys have left off are the Japanese-sung songs - debatable to me, but that was their decision.
