God, I love this remastered version. It just sounds... so real. End Roll is the best for me, you can literally hear how much she struggled to hit some of those notes (especially around 3:40ish 'Kimi mo aruitekun da ne') but it just adds to this rawness that we all absolutely loved about her at the beginning. Of course, there are some songs that sound better (to me) in the original release. Who... for example has lost some of its flavor, I feel the background 'Ooooohs' are a little hidden among the music but I'm probably being really picky xD Oh well, to each his own. I've been listening to hardly anything but this album and it's been a looooooooooooong time since I've had any interest in A BEST simply because it didn't really have a lot of songs that interested me. This release has made me retract that thought. It's great.
