Jack, I have an Aussie pressing and it sounds pretty good. slightly tilted in the upper frequencies and less bass than say Vienna - but has plenty of detail.
do you have an original UK pressing of this? - It sounds amazing.
If you could have one album re-mastered what would it be?

I don't have that pressing; I only have few North American ones (LPs), three different ones on CDs, and a music concert video version. I could use better ones, thank you.
If I knew every best music remasters of all the music I like in the world I would be the main speaker for world peace. :b
Another band that has been brutally massacred on CD is Kansas. Any dollar bin LP would sound a million times better than their "remastered" CDs. Not fair
Funny you should say that as I took my well cared for one owner original copy of Leftoverture to Mikes and was paranoid on how it would sound and was pleasantly surprised at how good it sounded, as was Xander.
They were (cd's as I have not heard the vinyl remasters) and they are pretty impressive all things considered, far superior. About 10 seconds in I noticed and asked as I was not aware they were re-mastered versions
I have never had issues with Floyd albums.
That album is magical. A defining moment in their careers. I wore the grooves off the record and CD!
Don’t, will have to track it down. If you have any leads to find this, please let me know, thanks.

Yeah, out of all the Rush albums, I wouldn't pick "Signals" as the one needing better (re)mastering. I kinda like that not-quite-fully-80s-new-wave production. Of course, soon after that they'd totally lose it with the follow up, that was 80s through and through. "Signals" is the last truly good Rush album.
I think I have it as a SHM-SACD. Unbearable to listen to. Needs the Steven Wilson remix magic.
Yeah I got that SACD as well. That one was actually WORSE than a regular CD I also had lying around. Shameful. Those SHM-SACDs were pretty hit and miss, BTW.
Alex, I need a new remaster of this one; which one is the best?
I picked this reissue up recently - sounds excellent. You can still get it at amazon

Bob, that’s easy...get your hands on an original UK Vertigo pressing.
Well, its my favorite Rush album so I definitely think the music is really, really great...I was only referring to the sound quality, which leaves quite a bit to be desired...even compared to other, earlier Rush albums.
That's one of my faves well! But quickly going through my digital versions, none of them are downright offensive. The (recent remaster) CD and 24/96 are similar, loud and punchy. The MFSL is their usual job, soft and muted. The 24/48 is my fave, along with the MQA, which seems to actually be derived from the 24/48 files, as they're fairly similar (MQA slightly more natural).
In comparison, the previous album, "Moving Pictures", is far flatter sounding, less punchy, lacking low-end, etc.

As recommended, the Rhino 2LP reissues are really good. Haven't listened to this particular album yet, but I was playing the first s/t the other day, and it's great!
cheers,
alex
