I can't speak re: the track indexing error, but what's this about the
transfer?  I haven't diffed the two versions, but the transfer on the
Levitation disc of the 2-CD set sounds superb.  It's probably the
cleanest sounding, most balanced mix of any of my CD I ever owned
prior to the last couple of years (when digital recording technology
has finally come into its own).  In the bad old days before studio
engineering techniques caught up with digital technology, I always
used it as an example of how digital recording *could* be done right.

Confused,
