I had this rip cranked up last night so I thought some others would like to hear a sample of the title track. This is really great, natural sounding early digital. This sounds better than any LP I've heard as the mastering engineer cut the vocals a bit on the hot side on the vinyl which can cause sibilance. The vocals from Michael and the narrator just sound so great on this mastering. Same with the cymbals which have a nice defined crispness without bringing them so far forward like some of the remasters do. From what I understand this very first pressing is not digitally identical to the slightly later Japan CD that came out one year later.
This has pre-emphasis so I de-emphasized it with the latest version of SoX.
