Finally here after what seems like an eternity but well worth the wait. The remastering job is really good - deep, distinct sound without muddiness and with a punch that seemed lacking in the original vinyl. The live material (which I've also had a slightly less effective try at digitising) really shows what the band was like - warts and all. A terrific historical document and well worth your pretty pennies. Contact Steve at Harbinger Sound (remove n.o.s.p.a.m. from the email).
