Chelsea Girls - Japanese reissue

[modboy]

Has anyone heard he Japanese reissue that supposedly has removed the tape hiss? does it really have a clear signal? i.e. the intro to the song, Chelsea Girls, which is a hissy mess. If it really is a significant improvement - can anyone kindly share it in lossless format?

I think it would help if you told us which edition you’re referring to, please. Discogs link or year?

Thanks. I can’t find a copy to hear. Maybe someone wider has?

that'd be great. I'd like to know if it really is remastered or remixed to remove tape hiss and improve clarity. Every version I've heard - vinyl and other reissues all are very distorted and hissy

there's nothing on the obi that suggests it's a new master or anything like that, it's just a limited edition mini-LP-type-sleeve thing - probably same source as other releases. UMG don't have the original multi-track tape, so there's not much they can do.

The credits were exactly the same as the earlier CD releases.
