Para o pessoal que gosta MESMO disto, e esteja disposto a procurar/gastar, vale a pena ouvir uma destas versões com a melhor masterização que existe:
A versão Japonsesa
A versão Americana com a mesma masterização
Trata-se de uma masterização que nunca mais foi utilizada, apenas com 2 faixas (e múltiplos index), com o som mais natural e limpo de "interferências" de masterização. Uma experiência única, vastamente superior a qualquer outra edição deste album em formato digital.
Preços: entre 250 USD (com sorte, para uma edição americana) e 3000 USD para uma edição japonesa ainda selada.
Atenção às versões "ripadas" que se arranjam nos P2P habituais... estes CD's antigos são muitas vezes mal "ripados" porque contêm informação/tags que o software não compreende ou não sabe "descodificar" (por exemplo o famoso pre-emphasis mas não só), resultando normalmente num som que não corresponde ao do CD original que serviu de fonte. Com este 35DP, só mesmo um CD original é de fiar a 100%.
Boas audições.
