I have this on both original vinyl and this CD now, and can report that they both sound pretty much identical.

So nothing to be gained or lost by having this great album on one of these formats over the other

It is in the best sense, a typical eighties sounding album, big synth-y sounds, with dramatic punctuation in the music, all the along the same lines as the lead track, which you all know: Higher Love... But fortunately, like that one, although the Eighties sound is a feature, it's one of those that mercifully avoids sounding dated (too much, anyway), and the songs are consitently strong throughout.

The two other stand-outs here being the Title track: Back In The High Life (Again), and the final track, which ought to come with a warning, for as I remember it, on first hearing, so long ago, it's a perfect break-up song... in that it is pre-eminent in making you perfectly miserable, if you're going through something like that, and along with Hall & Oates: She's Gone, are masterful in being as much a tonic in such a situation as this as a stiff kick in the balls.

(To the extent that if you are on of those other kinds of humans, who have no balls, it will make you feel like you did, and you had been kicked in them... by a large man with heavy boots and a very long leg :(
