I just picked up this reissue of All Summer Long at a local charity shop for £1. Anyone able to comment on how this compares to the original stereo pressing (apart from the cover)?

Thanks in advance.

Comparing to the original Stereo isn't Something I can do (I only have the original mono), but it sounds good to me, granted ASL and IGA being fake Stereo. However, compared to the original UK mono, It's almost better, considering the last 3 tracks on the original UK mono are really low quality for an unknown reason to me. <- that's another question!

Those last 3 tracks were like that on the original US mono album, as well.
