Hi Tonefish,

Yes, I know it has "Digitally Remastered" written on it.

But do you know how different it is when listening to it?

The purpose is to mention differences that people can hear or measure.

If they obtained the exact same sound with a different process, I dunno if we should change the version #.

We need to compare them.

For instance, I have the Dutch LP of The Man From Utopia which also has one track remixed, this is why we have put a different version #.

Could you please tell me more about "RB8601HP", what is it exactly? A sticker or something written in a box?

Thanks Maroual,
Firstly, I made an error - 2nd disc matrices begin E 50002 - (now as my corr above)

Regards intent of "RB8601HP". It is simply white text dropped out of the red print, under the BP logo.
It replaces the Label Code "LC 0149" that is on the first-issue UK sleeve (which I also have).
The digital cover also promotes the cassette tape; TCEN 5000
Regards significant sound 'differences', I will need to sit down & give them a whirl (It's been a while!). I do recall the 2nd being 'sharper' - obviously, they are different masterings/pressings - the 1st (CBS) has "Kdisc" stamped on run-out, the digital is an EMI.
(The fact that there is now an LP, a Cassette & a CD in that sector does suggest a difference that FZ wanted to bring to us folks?) Anyways, here's the CBS run-out matrices: (Unlike the digital, both discs have same label matrix "CBS 88560"
A = CBS-88560-A1 Side 1 [hand-etched] Kdisc [stamped]
B = CBS-88560-B1 Side 2 [hand-etched] Kdisc [stamped]
C = CBS-88560-C1 Side 3 [hand-etched] Kdisc [stamped]
D = CBS-88560 D2 Side 4 [hand-etched] Kdisc [stamped]

Kent Duncan was the Kdisc man...
