pink floyd division bell lp

Hey agoners, I was wondering if any one could tell me if the rereleased album In 2009 was as good as the original from 1994 or close? It's been my past experience so far that the reissues are generally worse than the original. I also haven't heard the original due to the pricetag. So that may not be a good recording either but the album does have a few songs I wouldn't mind having. So any input would be would be appreciated.

Regards,
Bill

Reissues are worse than originals in 99% of cases. Division Bell album isn't exception at all.

In 1994 I was at the record store and had the choice of black vinyl or blue vinyl for $10 more. I purchased the blue vinyl. It sounds very, very good, quality recording, quality vinyl. Unfortunately I can't answer your question because I haven't heard the reissue. I can tell you the original pressings sound quality wise are very, very good.

I wasn't aware that there was a vinyl re-issue in 2009, have you a link to anywhere mentioning it? There are quite a few unofficial coloured lps about that would just be a bootleg of a cd but nothing from EMI.

The original release on either the transparent blue or the black vinyl are very good. I wouldn't spend one cent on an unofficial version.
