The 2011 Remaster is distinct because it walks a tightrope. It doesn't crush the transients. Listen to the snare hit on In Bloom or the room feedback on Territorial Pissings . The 2011 version restores the space between the instruments. For fans who felt the original CD was too brittle or the 1996 "Mobile Fidelity" version too warm, the 2011 remaster is the Goldilocks zone.
