I've looked at different sites on the web, but they only list remasters of other albums, never TB! odd! -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect. Back to top

It's an anniversary edition with a cardboard cover conatining a little book with information about how TB came to be accepted by Virgin etc. I didn't buy it as I like 70s sound better than 90s sound anyway, and I read the infos in a record store, but I guess you can also find them somewhere on the web - they're none too spectacular really. But I can't tell you about the sound. Back to top

This probably sounds better than the anniversary edition, but I haven't heard either of them myself. There's also the version in Boxed which is more of a remix than a remaster (has a different balance of the instruments rather than improved sound quality). It also contains the original version of Sailor's Hornpipe with Viv Stanshall's drunken commentary about the Manor. You can get both the anniversary version and the HDCD version from the Tubular Web store. Just go to front of tubular.net and click "Buy HDCD remastered albums!" Back to top

I've heard that TBHDCD is the same than Anniversary, but I never listen to this one. IMHO, TBHDCD is wonderful, sounds are much more .... clear and powerful and deep. I think TB regular CD sounds to 'high' and lack a bit of deepness. True, I didn't think that before I heard Boxed and TBHDCD... That's true Boxed Edition is more a remixe, but I like it too.
