I recently purchased this CD, and was amazed that they finally issued it on CD. I have the records of both albums and have tried to get rid of the surface noise, but was never really able to get it to the point of perfection.Finally, they issued Modern Heart and Woman in Flames on CD! I have been looking for the 1983 hit Try Again, and other than an ok copy on a compilation, I have never been able to find this. The audio on this CD is very good and almost exactly as the LP record, though without the "s" problems and surface noise on modern heart. The audio on the record was good, but I think they were in a hurry when they cut the record and there were some problems.The CD has the same or very close equalization that the record does, and they did not process or alter the dynamics of the album. It is like this is the "japan" cd that never happened in 1983. Funkytown grooves gets a pass for this one, good job!
