"It's a great album. Where's the SACD version? And guys, increasing the compression to make it "louder" only means you think the listener is too stupid to turn the volume up! Increased compression equals a reduction in dynamics. This music is simply too good to be subjected to this tragedy of modern sound engineering. This album needs SACD and proper engineering to do it justice.
UPDATE 9/17/2010: This title is now available in a 2 channel only SACD Japanese release. What a huge improvement! The whole album is just cleaner and begs for higher volume but without fatigue. You'll likely notice it first in the vocals and Pete's guitar. If you think that Moon's drum kit is a little lower than before, just turn it up! Less compression here so you must crank it if you want volume. I paid a bit over $50 for this disc and while I'm not happy with the price, this album is too good not to own in high resolution. If you have the coin, get it. FYI, I have not seen this SACD on Amazon yet. Hopefully it will come and at a reduced price. Thank you Japan!"

"Yet another reissue of this classic album, Deluxe Edition offers very little that's new. While the geniuses at MCA have included still more bad alternate versions they forgot other classic songs written around the same time: Time Is Passing, Here For More, The Seeker, I Don't Even Know Myself, Greyhound Girl, Too Much Of Anything, etc.
The most interesting thing about this latest retread is the live set on disc 2. The band sounds like they didn't rehearse. Keith Moon is especially out of sync. At least the set is varied.
This collection is for die hard Who fans only.
