review from amazon:

This CD was "remastered" from a vinyl copy & for that reason alone, I would say avoid it if you can.

Mine's a 2001 "Fuel 2000" copy. Doesn't really say who remastered it, which I never noticed before. I don't think that it is wildly better than the original album, which was muddy.

Would like to see someone go in and do a "definitive" remaster on this. Add some extra tracks, too.

My copy is the Celluloid CD - "Made in Holland" it says. Has a 1984 copyright. Will have to re-listen to tell how it sounds.

Who owns the rights to Douglas recordings?

The Celluloid version changed the order of the tunes for some reason. I used to have it, but got rid of it for the newer version (which also has the original cover art). Can't say whether the mixes are any better or worse, though.
