I have a mid 80's issue of Trick of the Tail on CD, and to be honest it doesn't sound much different to me, to the 90's re-master. Unless you actually unhappy with the sound on the issues you have I wouldn't bother spending more money.

I reckon the early albums such as "Foxtrot", "Nursery" cryme", etc. do benefit. There's a post elsewhere in the forum (can't remember where now) which explains how significant parts of the anlogue recordings were "lost" due to the lengths of the LPs |

The master tape of Nursery Cryme for example is terrible, digital remaster can help a bit but can't do magic, there's no way to re-create the original sound, maybe clean it a bit but if the drums spound as tin cans in the original tape, there's not much |

SACD = super audio cd, it does surround sound (if you have a 5.1 system), the difference can be heard by playing on a dvd player, so buying a specific sacd player isnt necessary ------------- We Lost the Skyline............
