    I agonise as to whether this is a worthy format for this album or not. The only truly satisfying format is the original metal box vinyl format. But given that I will never be able to afford that, and having it on normal vinyl feels really wrong, I think this CD version is the least worse alternative. And sounds great so what does it matter.

      Although beautifully recreated packaging wise and a good remaster I still keep going back to my original vinyl 3x12 " set as Jah Wobbles monumental bass sound just envelops you.
