IMO an absolutely superb version. Everything is clearer and better separated, the background voices are much more intelligible, and the dynamics improved. But more important, the sheer emotional impact of the whole performance is significantly greater.

(But still no 'Ticket to Ride' on the fade-out.)

No 'Ticket to Ride' heard after the end of 'Eclipse'. In fact it's a pretty anodyne version, lacking any real emotion upon listening.

Just had a quick listen to the end of "Eclipse" on DSTOM SACD 4th Anniversary and there is no 'Ticket to Ride' to be heard.

I'll try it on my record next time I'm up north.

Buy a brand new sealed first generation copy of DSOTM - that would be £4200 currently on Discogs.

I'm pretty sure albums weren't sealed in 1973 either, so it may be first gen, but it wasn't sealed by the manufacturer.

Not in UK but maybe in some foreign markets? Japan?

Is the method of sealing albums shrink wrap? Because that only came into use in the early 80s, according to a quick search. As Macca says, it could have been different in other countries.
