I was glad to see this was reissued in June 2023 as I missed out on the original release in 2015 and haven't seen any copies for sale anywhere since I got into vinyl again a few years ago.
I don't have the original to compare this to, but all of the original's reviews suggested it sounded really bad. This one sounded good enough that I don't regret buying it for around $40. If anything her voice on some tracks sounded somewhat distorted, which does not typically happen on my system. Overall I would recommend picking up this release if you don't want to keep searching for an original that allegedly sounded really bad in the first place.
I should also note that a gatefold would have been nice for a 2LP set. Maybe this was just a rush job to get HBHBHB back in stores. Hopefully they'll do something more formidable for a 10th anniversary release in 2025.
