Gotcha I think - so you're saying they did repress Sonic Sunset vinyl, you got it, and it sounds different (like from a CD) compared to your original Deep Space LP vinyl. Don't know the answer, though as both were later day Model 500 releases it seems unlikely the Sonic Sunset tapes would have been lost as they were big releases at the time (i.e. anticipated as being historically significant?) and people were more aware of hanging on to tapes etc. by the mid 90s? I have original of both and was about to say I could give them another listen but when I think back to the times I've played Sonic Sunset both home and out I've never noticed it sound inferior so maybe the new one isn't the same. I know there was talk of "remastering" the new releases - maybe this is what it means?
