Just saw this listed on AmazonUk. Release date is June.29th. Label is Culture Factory. No track listing yet. I guess ZTT/Salvo are not involved.

Thanks for the info. I hope this one is not screwed up. So far most of Grace's remasters have been quite good.

The mastering on those Culture Factory releases is horrendous avoid at all costs unless you like your music brickwalled to hell.

Didn't Culture Factory do those Wang Chung cds from a couple of years ago?

Has anyone purchased this yet? How is it?

Heard it on Israbox (in flac).
I'm not impressed (and track 7 sounds distorted).

Culture Factory pick great titles to remaster and replicate the artwork very well but they BRICKWALL every title they do to death!!!!

I totally agree and it's a shame really because the packaging on these is top notch. I used to have software many years ago called audio cleaning lab where there was an option to make old cd's sound louder i honestly feel Culture Factory are doing the same thing with a similar type of program and there is no remastering involved.

Some new positive reviews on Amazonuk, saying the sound quality is good.

No surprise there. Most of the folks posting reviews on Amazon don't know what proper mastering even is. Plus these cds probably do sound good on crappy cell phone, laptop or I-pad speakers, which is all a lot of folks listen to their music out of these days.
I actually own a stereo system with a few hundred watts of power and don't need my music jacked up for me - I like to do it myself as needed.
