This is the to-go CD for this album. Great, crispy bass and amazing overall dynamics. The first 1 or 2 notes of "Smooth Operator" are cut off because of a mastering error but that's a low price to pay considering the horrible remaster - and besides, any disc manufactured before the mid-90s will do the job, though none of them sounded as good as this first edition to me.
