The Wire reissues on 180g are mastered from digital sources produced from the analog master tapes. I spoke with the mastering engineer in the UK ( a very famous veteran whose "BILBO" signature can be found on original UK Track pressings of "Who's Next" and many other classic rock albums from the 60's and 70's). The sound is good but not nearly as good as original UK Harvest LPs, which are quite expensive now. Please read the review on www.musicangle.com, my website (search Wire). As for Fatparrot's comments about Wire's lyrics, can anyone say "foolish?" Please fatparrot get some background on Wire, one of the most brilliant and innovative bands of that era before writing silly stuff! Lyrics without music frequently sound empty. Listen to Wire's music before commenting.
