Yes, it sounds like a different transfer to me than the earlier cds. . . . I haven't compared them yet but it sounds different "from memory." I'll try to find the other cd versions and compare tomorrow.
Doesn't sound as good as the SACD of Ah Um but I didn't expect it to!
EDIT: I've done some comparisons. These may be the same transfers, but there's differences I think in the mix and or in the sound of the cds due to pressing plant changes or something. These new ones have a mellower sound to the treble, but also seem less spread out soundwise.
That's just how I hear it on my system. Not a major drastic change. One would be served with either or both. The packaging and booklet are quite handsome and nice.
