The Rhino reissue sounds much different than my original. Everything (pianos, guitars, you name it) sounds much more life like and Joni's voice more dynamic and vibrant. The original must have some EQ because her voice is smoother (in places) but not as realistic. I think they rolled off some of the top end. Also on the original the piano sounds like a saloon upright compared to the reissue.
I can see how anyone accustomed to the original pressing may not like the reissue because it's a different animal.
To my ears the reissue wins, KO, no contest.
