One thing about "Question", the song, not the album - the only true original version is the original pressing LP. In post production, as I have heard it, the boys added some mellotron stabs and high vocals, and mixed them in on the fly. In all subsequent verions of the song on reissues and remasters, different masters were used, and those "add ons" are missing. You can easily hear the difference if you have the original vinyl.
I have NOT yet received my "QOB" SACD (just purchased Friday from Amazon.com), but it will be interesting to see which version is on there.
There are other MB songs that are this way - "Tuesday Afternoon" and "Evening" original LP has high vocals and harmonies added, as does "Isn't Life Strange" from 7th Sojourn.
To my ears, the old original vinyl sounds very thin and bass shy compared to the SACDs of Threshold and Days. However, I do like the MOFI vinyl A LOT - these were my "go to" versions when I really wanted to listen. Now it's a toss up between the SACDs and the MoFI vinyl.
Hope this helps!
