To be fair, however, I then played the Rhino reissue on cd and they were there also , I'd just forgot them. There is still , however, the tactile engagement that the vinyl edition requires. You are conscious of having to be near by to flip the discs and not just leaving the album to play and getting busy with something else. You end up really concentrating on the songs.
Exactly the same experience - in some instances I thought it was even remixed! But it was just my memory failing. So, nothing new, but somehow it sounds fresh.
It looks beautiful and feels great. The printed lyrics are a nice touch.
The vinyl quality is NOT the best there is. It's good thick vinyl, but nothing like the new Beatles LPs, for example. It might be down to the age of my turntable, but the outside groove is a tad to narrow causing the needle to land just outside of it (with a crash), and I had some skips (nothing visible on the vinyl) on one or two songs.
I can live with that, but, like I said, I've seen better quality arriving at my place recently.
