I played the ripped second CD from this double live album a couple of nights ago, tonight it's CD one from this 1994 Definitive Edition remaster.

Moving Pictures?
Yes sorry - mixed things up...

If you can get the original Chrysalis 'fatboy' double cd it sounds better. The 1994 is not bad, just a bit thin and toppy by comparison.

Yes, thanks Graeme. I was aware of the recent thread on this topic, but I just needed a copy whilst my turntable is on holiday in Rearsby. Besides, I did say that at least as far as the studio recordings go, the 1994 remasters sound very good. I no longer own a CD player per se, but it sounds ok through the NDS.
Have you heard the original Chrysalis SEBtP CD? It knocks the remaster right out of the park to my ears...the others not so much I agree.

Why? Give it a whirl and avoid such silly questions.

They're all inside of the casinos
Look at them poking like flightless birds falling from paper plates
Oh home, heavenly earthbound
But the spirit cannot wait to fly like the pink flamingos

Robert Cray. Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark. On vinyl from 1988. I have three Cray albums; this, its predecessor, and its successor. Each is accomplished, has very good SQ and are musically very similar. "Strong Persuader" is my favorite of the three.
Elvis Costello. This Year's Model. On original vinyl from 1978. In 1987, Rolling Stone magazine ranked this album number 11 on its list of the best albums from the period 1967–1987. While I enjoy the album, I find that exceedingly high praise.

No, but I have the original vinyl. I bought the CD because my turntable is currently at Cymbiosis for some beauty treatment.
On CD:-
I very much liked this, happy I came across him..
The 2nd one during my workout. Not as good as the other one but still quite good.
A bit of a hype around him, and I understand why. It's special...
On vinyl, an old LP but in pristine nick.
One of my favourite albums when i need to focus and nail a deadline.
A couple of strong coffees and this straight into my head via my Shure IEM's is all i need 
"...
Oh sister when I come to knock on your door
Don't turn away you'll create sorrow
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
You may not see me tomorrow.
