While in Los Angeles last week on business, I saw an import copy of 
"The Whole Story" CD. Having read about the questionable quality of
the domestic copy, and having not seen the import version here in
San Diego yet (I hadn't been to the right places yet), I bought it.
Because of various reasons, I didn't get to listen to it until
yesterday.Guess what? The disk is atrocious (yes it is an import,
says "Made in U.K"). Throughout what is side 1 of the LP, I hear
loud, crackling noises mixed in with the peaks of the music.
It disappears at the beginning of "Running Up That Hill". Thank God 
at least I still have the LP. I picked up a copy of "The Dreaming"
CD (import) locally yesterday, and it is one of the best CD's I've
heard to date.
