CD is NOT Computer World (2009 Remastered Version)
342891
I love this album, but this is associated with Computer World (2009 Remastered Version) which is what I intended to order. The CD from the 1980s is what you get. If you are looking for the 2009 Remaster this is not it. ASIN: B000002GYI is not the remaster. I was disappointed to say the least.

B000002JNJ - 7 91372-2 (1990) VS CD 91372 (1990)(bought in year 2000): both have the same non-remaster sound.
Well folks, I've listened to this beauty and this thing rocks on my new sound system, I was truly in joy.
everybody knows this record by heart, and If you don't, you live on another planet. this time, that rocked hard with the copy of amazon + my new system, it was out of this world, super great, it stand the test of time, this thing is massive, great, awesome.

I have box box sets of the remasters, and just started listening. My first choice, Abbey Road, is not much different sonically than the original CD released in the 1980s. Whatever differences exist are very subtle, like vocals being slightly louder. I kept reading reviews saying "the instruments JUMP out at you" etc, etc. I compared the new one to the old, and honestly, I can barely tell the difference. You can purchase either the old CD or the new one, and you won't miss anything.

I got the US edition (there is also an European/UK edition, as far as I know), and it came out very good.  Good pressing, with no big pressing errors/defects.  Sound-wise, I prefer it to the remastered 1998 CD.  It sounds darker/more bassy, but it really helps the overall sound and feel. The cover reproduces the original's, which in my opinion is way better than the "new" altered cover used in the remastered CD.

There is a Canadian greatest hits release by Strange Advance that has Sister Radio on it. The CD is called "Worlds Away & Back", and aside from having that song, it has a number of unreleased mixes, 4 tracks from their 1988 album, and songs recorded in the 90s. For some reason, the disc is not listed on amazon.com, but is still available on amazon.ca as of my posting this message.

I love this CD!  I had it on cassette when it first came out, and eventually decided to get it on CD- it was cheaper than going to itunes!

Yep, 5 stars, I love the album.  When I lost my original CD I went out and bought it again.  However, if there ever was an album that needed to be remastered this is it.

I own this recording on vinyl and cd and now as a Deluxe (re-mastered) Edition.  Sound's way better than the original cd.

The sound quality alone was enough for me to upgrade to this new 2006 digitally remastered compilation.  While the 1996 'Greatest Hits' remastering was good for it's time this new 2006 remastering by Evren Goknar is brilliant.  (Evren also did a wonderful job on 2005's 'Greatest Hits' release by Pat Benatar).  The audio is crisp, clean, and full, capturing the audio advancements in mastering 10 years later.  It sounds WONDERFUL.  The punchy, heavy, driving sounds of "Unskinny Bop" and "Nothing But A Good Time" (listen to those pounding drums at nearly 3 minutes in!) are only two examples of why this collection is worth owning for the audio enhancements.

Many fans who purchased the 1996 Capitol release, 'Greatest Hits 1986 - 1996', may be hesitant to pick up a new Poison hits compilation.  If you don't care much about sound quality, don't bother.  However, if you are interested in a stunning audio upgrade with new packaging and extra tracks not featured on the '96 release, I highly recommend this release!

Note:  Although Amazon.com does not specify, both "I Want Action" and "I Won't Forget You" are present in their single versions.

I love this album.  But this is not an SACD; it's a standard redbook-cd pressed using the SHM-CD process, which is supposed to give it a longer life but does nothing to improve the sound over the standard 16/44.1 resolution.  In fact this title was never released as an SACD and appears to be unavailable in any high resolution formats.

I am quite certain that this cd was advertised as the 2008 remastered version of two for the show. witch is a double cd. The cd I was sent is the 78 version with one cd. it even says on the back that one or more songs were left of because of a lack of space on the cd. I SAVED A FEW BUCKS BY NOT BUYING FROM AMAZON AND NOW I AM SORRY THAT I DID. So beware when you buy this that they are sending you the cd they advertise. not worth my time to return, or I would..........

Love it!!! 2 Remastered albums on 1 CD! I really like how they did this package and CD by The Human League! WELL DONE!
The songs sound crisp and clear! This is the best of both worlds, truly it is. If you have ever wanted this album and did not find it, NOW is the time to get it! Get this one, not the single discs. You will be amazed at how the remastered songs sound.
I am a big fan of this group and I really like their songs.
18 songs in all !
Great packaging and liner notes!

I've been trying to locate a CD version of this album to no avail.
I used to have an 8 Track version but it has gone the way of like items due to constant moving around the world for 25 years in the military.
I loved listening to it on my many cross country trips during the 1970s.
Is there anyone that has a link to locating a CD as my vinyl player has gone the way of my 8 Track player.

This is a double cd. Patience is the key to removing both disk. Removing the first cd no problem. See photo. Now as to songs you get, About all of the newer songs & all of the older hits as well. High Quality Fidelity & Good Volume, and most  in stereo.  Newer songs are dramatically improved sound. Now as to loading CD One & CD Two.  Attempted to load to my Apple Ipod.  One of the first questions the Ipod asks: 5 choices of what this album is called(from the internet)?  Due to quirky way the songs are copied to the ipod: You Must Not Use The Same Album Name Twice(CD One or CD Two). If you do, it will cause duplication of 25 songs from your previous download & confusion will set in.  You can always rename your two cd albums later.
  These cds include their latest releases from Far Shore,  & Future Road. Sadly 'Time & Again' waltz(only sung once)  by Judith from the 25th anniversary reunion is missing.
CD ONE: Silver threads and golden needles, In my life, Massachusetts, Gotta love someone, Calling me home, Guardian angel/guiding light, Forever isn't long enough, The shores of avalon, Far shore, I am Australian(Live), Keep a dream in your pocket, Days of my life, When will the good apple fall?, Emerald city, Love is kind love is wine, All I can remember, Cloudy, The sad cloud, Colours of my life, Come the day, Red rubber ball, Louisiana man, Turn turn turn, California dreamin'  CD TWO: Georgy girl, Island of dreams, Well well well, When the stars began to fall, Morningtown ride, Someday one day, Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, Walk with me, The carnival is over, Just a closer walk with thee, The leaving of liverpool, We shall not be moved, Don't think twice it's alright, The wreck of the old '97, With my swag all on my shoulder, Whiskey in the jar, This little light of mine, Danny boy, Kumbaya, Lady Mary, What have they done to the rain, I'll never find another you, Open up them pearly gates, Myra.  50 songs total.  Its a very long wait for oversea shipping. Recommend faster shipping.

Duran Duran ( DD ) first three albums (DD, Rio, Seven and The Ragged Tiger) are released in remastered version, but in a very economical packaging, plus the Big Thing album, an excellent album but quite underrated.
Previously, I have  Rio plus Seven and The Ragged Tiger CD in original release format. Those albums were produced very well in their era, but if the same album title from different versions were compared in sound, the quality differences is quite obvious.
The cymbal in Rio, is much crispier, the bass is obviously heard, and the guitar of Andy Taylor sounds better. The Reflex from the remastered version has a better groove, the drumming of Roger Taylor was tighter and clearer. The percussion and keyboard sounds in the Seventh Stranger is soo clear.
For your information, I only have Onkyo CR 515 at home, a very humble cd player, and I set the bass and treble in medium mode. Your player should reveal more of their refined sounds.

This is the conclusion :
The boxed set fulfill the wish of those who want to have original Duran Duran albums in remastered sound, but don't require the booklet or complete back cover version.
Please be aware that the cds only packaged in a simple cardboard sleeve. Album cover in the front, title track in the back side.
If I compare the cover quality, the front cover from the EMI boxed set is good enough,... but I observe that the The Ragged Tiger remaastered cd is not as sharp as the original version.
