The Bends [2CD + DVD]: Radiohead: Amazon.co.uk: Music

That proves their remastered once and for all I hope.

Why is that proof? And "remastered" is what? The record company can simply recopy the old master tapes with no changes and call it "remastered" if they want to.

From all I have read so far, it would appear that no significant modification of the originals has been done. Remember that the band have had no association with this - the new CD sets are just a record company re-packaging & marketing exercise.

They would be worthy of the label "Remastered" if the band and Nigel Godrich had personally overseen and approved any revisions that had been made.

Unfortunately (IMHO) "remastered" as a term has been overused to the point of being an empty marketing buzz-word these days.

(sorry if that sounds like a bit of a rant, after re-reading it, oh well ...)

I just bought "The Bends" versions of this, and it does seem remastered compared to the original, version at least from what I am hearing. I compared both of them with my SR60s and my very old sony walkman CD player I think it sounds better. For one thing I can finally hear Thom Yorke's guitar in all the songs.
UPDATE: just compared them with my PFEs and my old walkman, I notice the teble and bass alot more in this re-issue, I can finally hear the bass in Fake Plastic trees!, and can now hear Eds guitar in all the tracks as well, very noticeable. Also did anyone know there is what sounds like to me a recorder or flute in The Bends guitar solo? I can't even hear it in my original copy, but in this version its clear as day.
