I doubt it is a lot better. Look for a remastered version, it will probably sound better.
Joshua Tree
Turned out the lights and wanted to enjoy one of my favorite all time CD's Joshua Tree..aarrrgh! Time to update the one 1 bought in 1987, cant take the quality of the recording. Browsed thru amazon and saw the Gold Original Master Recording starting at 195.00!!!, up to 350.00 for a new one. I love this CD and am crazy enough to shell out the dough but is it a big improvement over the original release? Are there any other versions similar to the Master but cost less? Thanks!
