What is the most over-restored re-issue you own?

Some re-issues clean up the source so much they lose the document. Which one, in your collection, went too far? I will start: a certain 2019 LP that scrubbed the tape hiss into oblivion.

This matches what I have on my copy exactly. Good to see it written down.

Have you compared it against the 1986 Japanese promo cut? Allegedly only 30 copies pressed.

I would call reel dubs collectible if the provenance is solid. Otherwise they are just copies.

Frank, is the second recording the one with the Walther microphone? If so this is a small sensation.
