This pressing is fantastic, plus all the original song mixes are present, indeed.

Although this is a great pressing, it is definitely an album in need of a decent remaster. Artwork is spectacular, and pressing is dead-quiet and flat. Until such time that this gets an anniversary retouch, this is about as good as it gets.
