Does anyone here have the CD reissue of this?

I got this today - and it sounds awful. Too quiet, even with the volume at maximum, muffly and apparently sourced from what would seem to be not very good (crackly) vinyl...

I actually downloaded this as mp3 a few years ago, but I assumed that I'd just gotten someone's home vinyl rip and eventually deleted it because it sounded rubbish. No - it was actually a rip of the official CD version.

Considering that Mikey Dread was very thorough with the remastering for the CD reissues of his other albums on his own label (all of which sounded amazing) - I certainly wasn't expecting this one to sound bad. Not sure what happened here.

Mine sounds not too bad .....

Are there two different CD releases? Mine really does sound like a bad vinyl rip...

I've got the DATC CD 2019, made in USA.

I also had it on CD, until it was stolen. It was the double CD with extra mixes. Still have it as a rip, and the tracks are all loud and clear, no sound problem at all!
