    I think Side 1 of Pompeii is pretty good stuff. Side 2 gets a bit wonky though.

    Yeah the release date has always been confusing because the album has a copyright date of 1973.

    The 1994 remasters are terrible as well, but for a different reason. Many of them use a heavy dose of noise-reduction. Yuck. The original 1980’s Cd’s are better in every instance.
