and the answer is .... *drumroll* ... mainly (b).
There are some sound problems related to recording and production, but
as the owner of both the import and the domestic, believe me, the
british import is *much* clearer than the usa pressing.

This also holds true for PG2, PG3, and most especially PG4 (security).

And since someone has started a Gabriel thread here, any substance to
the rumor that he has recorded with Genesis for their upcoming album?
