I'd disagree strongly here. I've had the first album on vinyl for
about 15 years, and in all that time I probably only listened to it 3 or 4
times. When I bought the remasters (all under $A30 thankyou!) and listened to
that one, it struck me MUCH more than the others. I must have listened to it
about 30 times in a row! I admit this i spartly "re-discovering", but while I
can't put my finger on any significant improvement compared to the other
remasters, it was this release which I found was given the best 'emotional'
effect due to the remastering. I even put the vinyl back on the player - but
didn't feel the same about it.

But then again I'm probably just crazy, so I'd say the priorty should be
ISOS, HotMG, DFL, SR then HW

Just my (seasonaly adjusted) 2c worth
