The hissing and general poor quality of STAS was fixed when the HDCD version came out. It is a big improvement. Make sure it says HDCD on the back cover and also on the disc (in Europe some regular CDs got packed into the new HDCD packages) My understanding of the original mix of STAS is that Crosby miked a piano to try to pick up the strings resonating to Joni's vocals and guitar. Since they had to turn the faders way up, they added alot of noise to the recording. When it was remastered for HDCD, they eliminated those tracks. RR
