That "crap version" is simply the sound of the original mix. Any version 
of the original mix will sound fairly close to that. When I set up a 
comparison with the MFSL, many people couldn't tell the difference, or at 
least didn't have a preference.

Start at post 44. Post 115 is for Bell Bottom Blues.

Keep in mind the 20th anniversary version is a *remix*.

Has anyone confirmed this Mickboy version is actually the original mix? 
The 20th anniversary mix and 5.1/SACD remix both sound quite a bit 
different from the original stereo mix.
