    the top CD is from the $2 section. It's made in Germany by Creative Sounds.
    Doing some comparative listening to the 2009 DE.
    m2e3zadx27cz.jpg
    The 2009 CD1 has 'Evil Woman' on it as this was the way it was originally released.
    The better known version to us in the USA drops EW finishes with 'Wicked World'.
    Digging around the web, I understand the German CS has pre-emphasis and some
    CD players do not read it. My 1990 CD player does. In the end, they both sound
    very good. Nothing ventured...

    That one was terrible... IMHO of course

    That one was IMHO their last good attempt. After that they sucked.
