    Although no great recording/mixing choices, impo it has more punch and dynamics than the 2023 remastered reissue. I recommend to buy one of these inexpensive OGs for sound and the original cover, and the 2023 for the completeness of the concert and the bonus tracks, and better condition of the record.
