    Default Paul Simon remastered Graceland ?

    Has anyone a-b'd the remastered Graceland to the original? Since this is such a great SDA cd I figure I'll get the remastered version but was wondering if it is a lot better than the original.
    Any opinions?
    Thanks, Mike

    According to Amazon.com, it was remastered in 2004 with 3 bonus tracks:

    The remastered CD is great even if you don't have SDAs:(
    There are two ways to argue with women. Both of them are wrong.

    Thanks for the tip on yourmusic.com. Which songs have the best SDA effects on Graceland?

    Hmm. I'm going to have to look out for this album. I like most of the stuff I've heard from Paul Simon after he split up with Art Garfunkel (liked them together, too). We have a few of his CD's, but not this one. It's definitely on my list, now.
