Ich habe jetzt mal etwas im Go-Betweens Message Board zu diesem Thema gestöbert. Die neue Version ist wohl vom Masterband her um 2 db in der Lautstärke reduziert worden. Für die meisten klingt sie dadurch besser als das „Original“. (oder auch weniger schlecht). Perfekt wäre dies wohl aber auch nicht. Dazu müßte siel richtig remastered werden.
Hier noch zwei kurze Beitrage aus diesem Board, die die deutsche Veröffentlichung betreffen:

I emailed Tuition records who distribute OA in Germany. The person responsible, an Andreas Schaffer, answered I should contact Bernard at Lomax.When I asked if he seriously asked to send their faulty product overseas he replied that it was not faulty, repressing a newly mastered (not remastered as he pointed out) was only a decision of Lomax.I’l buy the Lomax import next time round and suggest other European buyers follow

The person quoted above, an Andreas Schaffer, actually answered Mr. Steffens the following (in-short): no remastering was undertaken, the master is just -2db reduced in volume. There is no faulty product (which was said enough times before), the band & management delievered the music exactly as it was pressed on CD and vinyl. The announcement that exchange copies are available was and still is a decicison made by Lo-Max only. Thanks!
