It sounded fine. I don't really notice the difference between the two mixes yet. It's not an album I'm very familiar with.

That's what I thought about it too. Also there's a lot of Joe Walsh era Eagles influence on the album as well.

I might just want to skip straight to booze today.

I should've relisten to this one today instead of the album I picked today - Rainbow's Stranger In Us All. 1995 didn't really need watered down Rainbow.

Sebastian just yelling "SAVAGE ANIMAL" is better than anything Ted Nugent ever did.

I think I like the U.K. mix more because Cozy's drumming is more present. Also Jon Lord seems to be more present. While I like John Sykes, his changes weren't so drastic to make me go for the U.S. mix more overall.
