Received it yesterday and I'm not impressed by the remastering. Played a few minutes of the first two tracks and I feel it is much too bright, almost laser drilling my ears. I may contact AF to see if I'm the only one with complaints. I have the original released CD and it is not quite that harsh.

I'm not going to give it another hour. My dog even barks at this one. The Bose wave radio could not even make it sound good. My Sda's and Monitors sound like transistor radios. I'm not even going to try the car system. It might fry the tweeters.This disc has caused ringing in my ears and has absolutely no bass! My 20+ year old version sounds better. Sorry I can't honestly recommend it. AF did an excellent job with Cars Heartbeat City and I expected the same with this one. I may still give them a call and ask whats up.

Please let us know what you find out, and if the Bose couldn't bring it up to snuff, you might as well use it as a coaster
