Received 'Mesopotamia' and 'Party Mix' today - 'Mesopotamia' contains the same versions that were previously available on cd, which, to be honest, I always preferred to the original UK version. They are newly remastered (by Kenji Yoshino, if that means anything to anyone) and aren't at all compressed. There isn't a HUGE difference on 'Mesopotamia' but it sounds brighter and crisper than the existing cd version, which sounds too loud and bass-heavy in comparison, but 'Party Mix' sounds fantastic, especially 'Give Me Back My Man', although I can only compare this to the vinyl version as 'Party Mix' is the only B-52's album I don't own on cd. My speakers are Pioneer S-DJ05-W with built in amp. I shall post my thoughts on the other reissues as they arrive, but, so far, I'm really glad I bought them.
