 Review
I found a copy of this last year, and bought it impulsively.

...As I already have an original UK issue (With a 6E / 4E Matrix), with all the stuff that was famously edited out on later issues, and even contemporary issues for other countries, I didn't think I'd be missing much by stowing this on the shelf and forgetting about it, in order to prioritise other records on my listening schedule...

...But stumbling across it again on a tidying mission, I thought I'd give it a go, to see how much better the UK one was, and where this fell short. But to my utter astonishment -

This sounds better - much better - than the UK issue!

I'm talking about the sonics here, that even a non-audiophile will immediately notice, sit up, and go: "Wow... what the hell!"

Yes, it's missing the Morse bits in Starman, there's the drop outs, and a couple of other well documented quibbles, and yes, the UK issue does have more of a balanced, natural sound, but sonically - the soundstage, separation of instruments, detail, punch, and the use of the stereo field simply blows you away here.

Totally unexpected.

If only you could somehow meld the two issues together, in order to have the best of each - the completeness and open, naturalness of the UK one, with all the bits in there, but coupled with sounding like this in terms of the "Holy Cow!" factor, you'd have the definitive version I think.

...But certainly, having a copy of this Canadian one (not sure if the U.S copy is identical sounding to this) and the U.K. one is a recommended task of comparison for the curious at least, and those seeking definitive sounding issues of this monumental album.
