I have been listening to my original CD copy since 2002, back then I never had a problem and now that I understand all this loudness wars stuff, which is an issue......I still think it is fine, at least on my system it sounds pretty nice.
 
The couple songs that were remixed for the Retrospective III, sounded good.....So I will be getting this remix album, but on vinyl once my local store has it.

I had a listen to the remixed version yesterday and its certainly a little 'softer'. I think some tracks like Ghost Rider and Earthshine fair better than others on the new mix. Not sure whether overall I prefer it or not but at least its an alternative to go to and wasn't too expensive.

Good idea since someone stole the CD from my car. Good album but a little too compressed, lacks definition. Let's see...

Honestly I don’t like the Vapor Trails Remix that much. It certainly isn’t bad, in fact, several parts of the music benefit from the remixing, especially the ones drowned out in the original. But over all it feels unsatisfactory; it just doesn’t feel right. Granted, I’ve been familiar with this album sense I was a toddler, so I’m very accustomed to the original.

First listen now, and I'm pleased. Sounds so much clearer and fresher now.
It's on PA!

I have been listening to it for a while now, and it is a very enjoyable release.  I paid $9, and it was well worth that amount.

I bought the box.  Vapor Trails is very clean sounding and not overly loud.  What really sounds great though is "Presto".  Wow! Wow! Wow!  Worth it for "Presto" alone.

"How" much better? Apart from a few songs, Presto hasn't aged well for me.
