This album has always sounded crap on CD; whereas the vinyl sounds great.
Looks like it's finally been remastered.
Tower USA are advertising a 'Remaster-Digipack' version released on 27th July - next Tuesday.
Don't know and don't care if there's a UK/EU version as it will almost certainly sound inferior.
My order is in.

I hadn't noticed that the original Graceland CD was inferior. I have Rhymin' simon on vinyl so I won't be getting that. it is a favorite tho, especially when i'm down or late at night. It's just very fulfilling.
Life is analogue, enjoy it while you can.

Better than (or as good as) vinyl? Also, are the extra or bonus tracks any good or are they just "throw aways"? Thanks for any opinions.

Hearts and Bones is not up to the original vinyl, but is very good nonetheless. I suspect Rhythm of the Saints might be an interesting face off vs vinyl. I have original CD and vinyl of that one and which one sounds best depends on my mood!
