i didnt notice much of a difference in the sound at all. i'm a huge Weasel fan, so i have all the albums and almost all the re-releases so i bought this just for collection purposes. great album, love the song dummy up. the 5 bonus tracks are all available on other cds, but i dont think all of those are in print anymore. still, great cd from a great band and after hearing one of the songs off of the new cd when i saw them in Covington i cant wait to buy it.
