What's truly awful is the photo that came with the HDtracks download. This made me further question the integrity of their practices.

It's not that hard to find a quality photo of the album cover. If they were concerned about quality, then this is a detail that they would not have overlooked.

^Ha. That first one looks like they just took a scan of MY old copy of the album. That second one looks yummy.

The Japanese seemed to issue better mastering jobs for CDs released in the late '80s and early '90s, with occasionally better artwork and bonus tracks. Mirage was one of those CDs that sounded much better than the US counterpart. There was no remastering, but the levels were much more acceptable. I don't know how the US version of the CD ever got approved. The volume level is substantially lower than other discs released around this time.
