The 1997 mix of SW doesn’t sound anywhere near as good as the 1993 version. It has less dynamic range, lesser fidelity, more noise and distortion, a number of bad edits, a tinny EQ balance, and most of the time less low end. It’s still the best-sounding version of the SE, but the 1993 version is significantly better in all respects. By all rights the '97 should sound better, since it comes from an earlier generation source, but it doesn’t. I think the 4-track master tape it was copied from was not stored properly, whereas the 70mm printmaster used to make the '93 version must have been better preserved.
