I don’t see any mention of a Levi in the 2016 repress.

I don’t know if it’s talked about much around here, but i miss the drop in DTE (near the end) in the OG release (CD included).

In the original pressing, there’s a drop in the volume right around the part where Ed sings, “2010, watch it go to fire…”

It’s noticeably missing in the remaster.

I’m sure it’s out there on YouTube or something. I’d upload a rip, but my hard drive got corrupted in my iMac where I had it stored.

Now that I’m mentioning it I kind of want to rip it again on another system so I can have a listen.

I have decided to re-rip the original CD. Gonna rip the Given to Fly and Wishlist singles while I'm at it.

dad the ripper

I really dont get why we arent getting some bsides with this deluxe edition. Make me sad.

Is this not available in the U.K.? No new mixes on iTunes or Spotify? All have to pay shipping for the vinyl when it’s ready?

Here it says that the spatial audio was mixed and produce by Josh and Nick Rives.

I'm not convinced that this means the spacial audio mix is on the record. I think it's just talking about the stream.

Yeah that josh evans thing is for stream

Still their best album to me, with only Vitalogy competing for the title. Vs has a bit of leftover hyurr energy and No Code, while great, feels a little too self-conscious with its "this is our Led Zep III" intentions

Maybe they're going to celebrate #LostDogs20 with a new collection of b-sides.

I've got a decent set of bluetooth shelf speakers, Edifier R1700BTs, and I still can't tell the difference in the mix on streaming.

However, through headphones, it does seem like Ed's vocals are slightly clearer, maybe even turned up, and I do hear subtle things in Low Light and In Hiding.

It would've been nice if this 25th Anniversary came with b-sides. The Wishlist Single version of U is far superior to the Lost Dogs retake. Some demos would've been great too.

yeah, or some outtakes like Parting Ways with Jack...it was recorded during this session right?

I'm not sure, but that'd be great if there was a recording of that from the Jack era.

I’m loving the Spatial Audio version of this. Tons of little things I’m noticing for the first time. Everything is separated just enough to make all of the individual elements clear. Push Me, Pull Me is crazy. In Hiding sounds amazing.

Eddie’s harmony vocals in the chorus of Faithful are front and center in a very good way.

I just heard something really cool while Hummus was playing. It was on the right side/channel. A sort of bwwaaah bwwwaaahh (I don't know how else to describe it) guitar near the end.

Also, I don't know if I've ever heard Jack's little tapping along with the Brain of J intro chords, right after Mike's 2nd count.

this blurb (from wiki) about Wishlist is kinda interesting...

It was a stream-of-consciousness exercise. McCready booked studio time in a tiny studio here with our friend Stu behind the board and another friend playing drums. We don't have the discipline to sit down and teach each other parts, so you're writing simple chord changes that someone else can follow without having to take breaks to learn them. It was probably eight minutes long originally. I listened to the tape and picked out the better wishes.

I wonder what wishes were removed.

I wish I was a little boy
who ate an ice cream cone
I wish I was the elderly
out in Boca Raton

I wish I was a tiny mouse
wearing a little hat
I wish I was a carpenter
making a baseball bat
