So having neared my ideal NY collection on CD, I've been tracking back and picking up some of the more recent NYA remasters (where justified). Very pleased with the way this one sounds - the soundstage is so much more open, with vocals/drums having room to breathe in particular. My 1990 CD can't hold a candle to it. It would be nice to see all the ORS releases as standalone titles (not just some of them), to enable collectors to pick and choose. I don't believe all of them warrant a repurchase (Comes a Time, Rust Never Sleeps, Harvest Moon, Sleeps with Angels - for example - sound pretty good to me already). Mirrorball is definitely one that needs some work, but I've heard mixed opinions as to the remaster. Oh yeah, the extra CD Smell the Horse is top notch - Interstate...what a song!

Have the newer edition of the base game with The River expansion included. Just picked up Inns and Cathedrals, which included this tile. I understand earlier editions of I&C actually included The River expansion before it was moved to the base game - but my assumption is that this tile is to be laid with the other river tiles at the start of the game..?
