Probably. There are ways and ways of "remastering" (compare for example, what the BC camp did for C.Craig's Climax, to what you see in most bootlegs). > not had a chance to compare the two as my original is at a friends.. did > sound ok though. and probably (hopefully) better than the original... My copy of Virgo Four is the worst piece of vinyl I have seen. It is all over poppy/cracky... the (wonderful) music is barely listenable. A friend has it on CD and it sounds OK, though. So I am wondering if they trully remastered it and the repress is listenable (otherwise, I will just make digital copies :-( from the CD) > lookk fwd to catching up on a few i missed... how many are being released i > wonder? need 'free yourself' for a start Free yourself was repressed as well. See the bottom of http://www.discogs.com/label/Trax+Records for a almost complete list (or the back of one of the repressed sleeves). However, my old copy of "Free Yourself" is rather good (for TRAX standards).
