    Condition - 5 out of 5, 2008 Transmissions Recording. Great re-mastering of original 2000 recording.

      If you have a nice CD player setup, this sounds really good and you can really crank it up. I decided to pick up the CD because I keep seeing people talking about subpar vinyl pressings. I am sure the remaster sounds great on vinyl but I am more than satisfied with this.

        Does anyone know if this is the original 2000 mix or the 2007 remix?
