    I was ready to buy this on the strength of the original recordings. I've heard the complete sessions on the old Complete Riverside Recordings CD box. I just don't understand why they didn't

    A. Reissue the uncut gig as it happened (rather then resequence it).
    B. Keep it 100% analog on the LP version (obviously they'd have to digitize for the CD version)

      Amazing sounding master and pressing! The clarity and nuance achieved compared to a high quality stream is miles above!

        I just bought the USA version from Amazon for $40US. Definately worth the money, sounds great to me but I do not have anything else to compare it to. I will write that off to ignorance is bliss.

          Why digitally remaster this release? and then use basic 24bit 192kHz decade-old digital loss format that has been far sured in recent years?

          Did they lose or damage the original master tapes?

            Glad to have pursued the US copy. As a UK citizen i paid less for this US version from Ebay than i did for the EU copy from a well known UK dealer. A bonus having returned my EU copy due to its false claims and sub par pressing.

            The main advantage is this one lives up to the hype... the Optimal discs are perfect and much better than the GZ media. To see the runouts match the hype sticker is imoprtant but not as important as the sound and pressing quality and its on both these fronts where im pleased.

            My only gripe is the awkward packaging and that once heard the bonus discs are not going to get much play, so id actually have preferred a single disc main album release instead.

            Still, im satisfied at last.

              Looking at the reviews below for EU bought copies, it looks like we have another instance of the recent remaster and reissue of the classic Marvyn Gaye What's Going on album. That was falsely d as being mastered by KG and pressed at precision but in fact the EU version used a different master and was pressed at GZ. Shocking that these record companies can get away with this. It's a disgrace really. Reluctantly I'll be buying the CD after reading this.

                There are two unreleased performances on this new issue, and an additional three that make their first appearance on the vinyl format. It seems that the 1992 Complete Riverside CD mastering of this material rolls off the top frequencies down, which is typical of many late 80's early 90's CD mastering efforts. This new U.S. version (at least the LP vinyl version) restores the the full frequency range. Artwork, packaging, disc/vinyl pressings and notes are top notch.

                  Just received my second copy of this set. The first had bad scratches/gouges taken out on side 2 of the 1sr album. The new copy has no damage.

                  The records are flat and sound great. I never heard the OG release so I’m very happy with this version. An excellent addition to my growing collection.

                    Disappointing that craft d this as an analog source but the hype sticker details that it was digitally remastered. Too much money for something digital. Usually craft nails it. Not this time.

                      Yes, I received mine in today and I am disappionted that it is pressed in Czech Republic and not as I thought at Optimal. Why don't we get the best version of this amazing album? I really don't understand this. My discs are also flat and silent. Would be interesting to compare it with the Optimal pressing.
