DEEP: A reissue of sorts, with four Sound 80 Studios tracks
appended to the original NYC versions. The Sound 80 tracks - are
sourced from a half speed master and sound terrific. All the talk
about being mastered at the correct speed and pitch, well, you'll
have to decide for yourself. They do sound awfully true, though.
Packaging remains as originally issued, with a note on the added
tracks attached.
NOTE: This is perilously close to being a pirate edition of
BOTT with bonus tracks, omitting only one song from the
official release (although some of the official tracks are
represented by variant releases). Therefore, not
recommended.
