As a kid, this album had been hard to find or even out of print for a few years. Then one time I saw the original vinyl pressing in a Christian museum showing how you will go to hell for disobeying god, and all I ever thought was how much I wanted to break in and take it because it would be much better used in my possession.
A year or so later they finally released the 2002 version on CD and that’s the version I know.
The production in the 2018 remaster is top notch production wise but I don’t really listen to it at all.
Man, it’s been years since I listened to this. Maybe even a decade or two. Lol
For me, the original album hasn’t left the rotation in the past 30 years lol. My spouse will sometimes play Megadeth from streaming, which is almost exclusively the remix/remaster/re-record(?) versions. And they all sound “off” to me because I spent so much time with the original mixes, rough as they may be.
