Seems there was little to no quality control on this release.
The very first track, the coliseum mix of The Promise, is lossy sourced.

I purchased this to get Associates "Take Me To The Girl" 12" mix on CD - to save myself the time needed to remaster it from my vinyl. This series is reputed to originate with master tapes, but the resulting disc is so brickwalled, it's painful to listen to with headphones on! It was back to my vinyl for a far more satisfying sound that wasn't harsh and unlistenable! Sigh. One more thing… the Alphaville track sounds like it has so much NR slathered on it I would doubt that the master was anything but a beat up copy of the vinyl 12"! Either that or they let Jon Astley remaster it!!!
