Posted by: Right Wing on 22 January 2007
anyone heard whether these are of any better sound quality?
I would appreciate any advice before buying these as they are not cheap.
cheers

Hi Right Wing
IMHO (usually) Japanese imports tend to be better in sound quality and also packaging.
In Donald's case I don't have any Japanese import versions of his CD's, although I have a Japanese LP pressing of 'The Nightfly', and a special digipacked gold promo CD of Kamakiriad both of which are in my view better than the standard US versions, which in turn are better than the European ones.
However, Amazon are listing 'The Nightfly Trilogy' for release on 5 March 2007, which I understand is going to contain remastered versions of these 2 CD's together with the latest 'Morph the Cat'.

Geoff

No Problem. Personally, I am going to wait till March for the remastered Nightfly, and Kamakiriad, and will probably get the import versions.

And interestingly, it's listed as 4 CDs, which makes for an unusual sort of trilogy.
Tried looking at the Warners website by typing warners.com and got an interesting picture!

Checked this out on a few other online retailers, and yes they are all saying 4 CDs, but no further info yet !
So hopefully the 4th disc will be full of nice new bonus material as I already have some DF singles with non-album tracks.
