Cheers!
My comments were simply off-the-cuff after one cursory listen, rather than a full-on analytical review, which I'm sure others are better qualified to undertake. I tend to go with gut instinct on a first listen.
The liner notes are a thorough overview of the band's career to that point, but light on studio details.
Jakko does go into a little detail about the challenges of resurrecting the album from the original tapes - this time he wasn't handed a box of labelled reels, but instead everything on one hard drive, with no file references on any of the digital files contained therein. So he had a mountain of digital bits to work through to get the set to where it is now. Given that the new stereo mix offers subtle differences while still being respectful of the original, is quite an achievement under the circumstances.
I'm sure you might find out more if Jakko does any interviews to promote the set.
