    Do yourself a favour and get the Geffen CD (GEFD-24048) instead of this one. Whilst still much better than the remaster, this Polydor mastering is overall a bit dull sounding, has an unnecessary fade out on "Trophy", and the first half-second of "Christine" is cut so the song just abruptly starts. The Geffen has much clearer sound and none of those errors. It's strange they dropped the ball with Kaleidoscope... the rest of the Polydors sound great, and a few are superior to the Geffens (Juju being the biggest example)!
