As Marsel says, it'll depend on what Alden Tyrell has done in his
mastering process, and if it's to your taste. Mastering techniques
have definitely come a long way since some of this stuff was released
originally but not everyone will agree that they've got better. He's
normally a really good engineer though and the clips sound great to me.
One thing that might be interesting is that remastering everything in
one session from the original tapes might give the tracks a more
consistent sound. I don't know for sure but I'd imagine that because
a lot of them were released on different labels, most of these 12"s
were mastered by different engineers at different cutting sessions
and that as a result all the records sound a bit different, well at
least to my ears, they do.
07 UNKNOWN JOURNEY is definitely something I've never heard before or
seen on any original releases.

but it's always personal judgement if it does of course
and can depend on which system the music is played after (home
headphones vs 100k stadium)

all re-mastered -
A quick question. Does remastering actually man its going to
sound better. What if the technique they use isn't as good as it
originally was....
Going back to a post a few months back on how the trax stuff had
been remastered to sound great on big sound systems but lacked
mids and hi end clarity
