I hope it sounds better than the Workingman's Dead 24/96 that I purchased in Oct off HD Tracks. I really don't like the sound or the mix. They remixed many of the tracks for this reissue, completely changing what I consider an essential record for the Dead, and for any serious connoisseur of American rock. The bass seems out of whack with the rest of the instruments, and I wonder if there are phase issues. It definitely sounds more compressed, but have not checked the levels.
