    i still cannot explain why this 2004’s version is actually in my collec’, whereas a 1979’ sugarhill shl-102 was already there, before ! it was for me today, the opportunity to compare the both sounds.

    so, it makes actually no doubt this one was remastered ! but, at which price... (?)

    for sure, this version is more dynamic, but it was not to the benefit of the original charm, made by the variations and the groove, the artists were probably looking for when they have recorded in 1979 ! here, we can find too much treatments of the sound for the ears (to my point of view), like the 2004’s engineers have tried to make sounding the tracks, like we are trying to make sounding good a techno release...

    unfortunately, the result is sounding like a highly compressed mp3, encoded with a not so good 256 kbps frequency, at least ! also, i don’t know exactly what source was used when the reissue was made, but, we can hear on this one too many useless amplified noises, like it was an old dirty or damaged vynil re-treated. or maybe, an additional fx... who know exactly ?

    for sure, if i will have to find a day a third copy, i will prefer a sugarhill shl-102 vg+ copy ! more, if this one is a quarter of the price of this 2004’s reissue, as it was actually on the website...

    finally, this release is sounding 3/10, only (in despite of a near mint copy in hands), compared to one of the originals issues, which is still sounding 8/10 actually ! think i will finally believe that to prefer the originals versions is not a legend...

    hope it will help...

    have a nice day ! d’
