Like we were trying to pull a fast one. The Rough Trade cd release suffers. But, on Pere Ubu's Cloudland the label has become quite tacky and has started to stick inside the player. These were flat transfers. When songs are mixed they reflect the bias of the speakers on which they're mixed and the technology of the time.
Older material tends to suffer from a more severe bias.
A flat transfer doesn't account for this bias and can, therefore, do a disservice to the music. The entire right channel is missing. The chorus is misquoted in the liner notes. It was spotted with headphones. It is corrected on subsequent pressings.
