Procul H's

I have the LP of this album and have always loved it, but it is at least 25 years old and beginning to sound noisy with clicks and pops

I decided to check out Amazon.com. I found a "used-almost new" CD issue of a 1999 UK import. I went with this issue because I have often been disappointed with recent re-mastered re-issues. I also choose this particular issue because the remaining new ones through Amazon's vendors are $30.00 therefore assuming that this UK import is better than some of the newer reissues. I might be dead wrong!!!

This is an esoteric question, but does anyone have specific knowledge of the best CD issue of PH's timeless masterpiece??? Thanks, Jim

JAYBO, The PH title I am asking about is "Salty Dog
*****************************************************
Qdrone, I recall seeing new copies MFSL CD of Salty Dog on Amazon for about $50.00; I was not aware of the type of music on "Broken Barricades" PH even in the 60's and 70's was an acquired taste.

The Salty Dog LP was given to me by my brother, and I never returned it. I never checked e-bay or some of the LP shops touted by Stereophile in their once a year review of analog outlets.

I also ordered off Amazon the PH CD with a coral pink color cover with a ghostly woman figure on it. I checked the play list on the back, and it has some of their more popular songs, and some live bonus tracks.

I will again search for a VG copy of MFSL CD of "Salty Dog" Thanks for the info. Jim
