I'm not trying to start another cd vs. vinyl thread here, but if you are so pissed about the sound quality of the SAW vinyl version, why don't you save yourselves some grief and get the CD version? "But ooooh, the vinyl has an extra track. Wank, wank, ooooooooh." Hey, I would rather have 24 great-sounding tracks than 25 that sound like my Rice Krispies in Coke (snap, crackle, pop, fizzzzz!). I mean, who's gonna mix this in a club? Not your typical dance fodder... -boB
