Who ever thought it sounded good this way? I think it's because headphones weren't widely used back then. (lemmy.ml)

That may be a thing with some releases, but I'm convinced that the original pet sounds and even the MFSL mono release are very inferior to that one HDCD stereo release. Still I'm listening to in 16bit/44kHz form, but to me it sounds way higher fidelity and likely is closer to the source. I can pick out instruments and sounds that I didn't hear in the other version.

In general though I find modern 'remasters' are horrible and compressed and I think it's lame that services like Spotify usually have only the most recent (and therefore worst) version of a given album.

May the source be with you
