He did - Ian has the ONLY 1st gen master in existence - the 3 versions I mentioned all used it. No other version does. These versions sound much better - the DCC version being the best. I'm not a big fan of Steve Hoffman and the smile curve, but unless you have heard this version, you haven't really heard what this album can sound like...
