Strange. > I remember noticing when I got the 'normal' CD, that while the change from Boho to Harry is musically the same, on vinyl it changed at a different place - is that what you're talking about?
The change from Centerpiece back to Harry sounds kind of "unnatural" to me, like it's a bad editing job... I suppose it's like that on all versions of the album? Can't hear any cracking at the beginning of Harry... I have the US pressing. Advice to the original HDCD "inquierer": if you're in Europe, you have to check if you get the 'repackaged' artwork. I have yet to see European HDCD's with the restored art. So far I've seen quite a few Euro HDCD's with large golden stickers on front, but the art is always the boring old one. Anyone who has an extra copy of the Shadows And Light double HDCD -- I'm a potential buyer! It's the last HDCD I have to find... --jussi
