Excellent reissue in 2.0 stereo. Great performance. Unfortunately, the 5.0 tracks are obviously processed from the 2.0 tracks: there are only low level ambiance sound in the center channel. It's a shame, because the original master tapes is a 3-tracks recording that could have been put in the SA-CD layer, as was done with the early reissue of RCA Living Stereo recordings.
