Pink Floyd The Wall Remasters

With all of the different versions (remasters and imports) of The Wall, which version has the best sound? I believe there is a 1994 remaster and a 2000 remaster. Then there is the Japanese pressing among other import versions. The version I currantly have is a Columbia release and has 1997 on it. I love this recording and want to have it in all of its sonic glory. I would appriciate any thoughts toward this subject. Thanks.

MFSL absolutely sucks boosted bass highs cut, the shine on box version totally kills it hell the regular release kills the mobile fidelity release the echoes version is better than the regular release. Have not heard the mini lp Japanese version so can't comment on it

The Harvest import is the best I've heard. I had the MFSL and sold it. I agree that the MFSL is rather disappointing.

Mejames please explain how the Echoes release betters the regular release (by which I suppose you mean the '97 version)when it is exactly the same!

So often on Audiogon we see talk of remasters and it is very very confused.

Mejames that'll be the '94 one and explain why you prefer the Echoes version.

These types of conversations are very common and one of the reasons I started Lugs to at least let folks know when older versions had been surpassed.
