The 1987 version adds new guitar solos and the piquant narration of Orson Wells and the horn section in the Cask of Amontillado is really snazed up and much better. This was done when it was released on CD, and Alan Parsons personally remastered the entire album. However I think that the MoFi CD was based on the original. I highly recommend that you listen to the remastered version, you will be quit impressed with the effort.

I like the Orson Wells, but the rest of the digital delay, and snare drums stick to hell.
They ruined the album with that nonsense.
The original Vinyl with the rice paper inserts even has better thunder.
Thumbs down for the remastered version. IMNSHO.
Do yourself a favor, get the original vinyl. Much better, not the digital remastered horseshit.
- Also, the remastering creates the impression... Evgueni 11:09:00 09/27/00 (0)
  ...that during those years Alan Parsons had forgotten how the string orchestra really sounds. On a CD it sounds brighter than needed, while on an LP it was timbrally right.

  I personally was most un-nearved about the "remix"...It sucks profusely, and the Orson...was a nice touch...right on guy !!
