Hi,

I too purchased the remasters and they are certainly an improvement,
especially the 10-1. However, could anyone who purchased it give a
closer listen to 'Progress'? To me it seems that the rhythm guitar is
much too low in volume compared to the original. I tend to suspect an
error might have occurred in the mixdown process. Can anyone confirm my
impression?

Cheers,

Stephan
