All roight...here are the unofficial and highly subjective results of comparing the import and domestic versions of HofL cds: 1) There is very little difference (read:none) 2) There is very little difference (read:none) 3) and finally, there is very little difference The import version may have a tad more volume but in general, the levels of hiss, the balance of the mix and all those other good things are the same. Please bear in mind that I am very hard of hearing :) With regards as to which version to buy: I like the packaging of the import better (particularly the little booklet layout) and of course, as an added bonus, you get the credit error ('THe Holy Grail/Coming of Arthur' snafu) and a few more Ninth Wave pictures. BTW, all of the discs I listened to were made in Japan. Locally, the import sells (sold by now) for a few dollars more than the domestic release. (For those interested, listening was done with a Denon CD player, Cyrus ][/psx amp and Mission Argonaut speakers/Stax headphones) On a totally unrelated note, I finally managed to get the Under the Ivy Bush bootleg at an insane price. Now all I need is a record player. It's not just music, it's an addiction! -- The more I think about sex, the better it gets B. Scarlett Here we have a purpose in life.
