Yes they seem to have had a lot of snakes hissing in the
background when they were recording. Would love to see a 10 disc remastered holiday box set come out this fall and it would put some chump change in the boys' pockets.

I think Share the Land could really benefit from remastering. The sound seems to be a little masked.

Funny how you mentioned SHARE THE LAND! I got TWO versions on cd...the import Canadian version & a REMASTERED US version I picked up used. It was done March 1994. Any difference? You bet! The US version has better bass, clearer highs, more open. I use these two cd's as demos to show people that not all cds sound the same!
