    Anyone familiar with these two CDs? I just noticed that the overlapping tracks have their left and right channels reversed. Which of these two has it "right"(;))?

    The Polydor Arrival cd matches my Polar vinyl copy.

    Can someone confirm if all tracks on the original CD version of Greateat Hits Vol. 2 have their channel reversed?

    The Target disc has the channels reversed. I checked it last night.

    Just want to reanimate this old thread :)
    Yesterday I did a comparison between the original Polydor 1984 CD and the Japan CD, made in 1986. Both sound very similar, but the source tapes used for the Japan release were definitely in better shape. Besides the fact that both CDs sound great (and very similar in frequency range and volume), the Japan CD lacks some minor tape glitches you can hear on the 1984 Polydor CD (especially on the first second of each track).
