    I take it these 2023 reissues are the same re-recorded version of the original album as the 2018 reissues?

      Yet another quality release crom Kate Bush. Side Two should have become tedious to my ears, but my listening pleasure simply inctreased.

        I have the original 0946 3 43960 1 1, 343 960 1, KBALP01 pressing and it was indeed very bad but after a ultra sonic cleaning it came out beautifull in every way! I don't think it's normal to clean a new record but somehow in the production process something must have gone wrong. Anyway, once this record is cleaned, it sounds brilliant in any way! Anyone else expierenced this? Please let me know, kind regards from Schiedam

          The original 2005 vinyl pressing was one of the worst I've ever owned or heard: soft, muffled, fluffy bass, crackle and non-fill throughout, distortion on peaks, heavy distortion at the end of each side. Really a shocking mastering job and dire pressing. I wonder if this reissue is any better?

                In dire need of a remaster and reissue - surprised one has not happened.
