when it comes to sound:
- Both Polydor WG 800024-2 02 and Polydor WG 800024-2 03 are identical sound and dynamics.
and both sound noticebaly brighter than Polydor WG 800024-2 01 .
- The Disques Dreyfus WG FDM CD 18108, less bright than Both WG 800024-2 02 and WG 800024-2 03, but brighter than WG 800024-2 01.
actually I liked how it sounds compared to them.
- The 97 remastered, I don't like because the bass is exaggerated, feels like Rap or Euro Dance! ...
but if you just reduce bass by equalizer it will sound fine.
- The later remasters has a unique tone.. if you want something sound really different from all other past masterings (more depth?), I think you can try them. they are loud though.
- The 1991: this one
https://www.discogs.com/es/release/8740 ... 3%A9tiques
sound similar to the Polydor WG 800024-2 02 ... though it was issued in 1991, it is not mentioned that it was remastered.
I think the one mentioned by Dr Jones , is this :

isn't it?
