Can anyone who has purchased these verify if the mastering errors are still present? How about the typos and errors? Thanks

Found this information at Voices in the net:


In 1995 Virgin re-released the album on CD in the so-called "Definitive Edition" series, featuring the original front cover artwork. The sound quality of this release, using the Super Bit Mapping technology, is probably the best up to now, but like most of the other releases of this series, the booklet text contains a little error in that Peter Baumann's name is misspelled Bauman, and on the backside insert the second track is misspelled 'Stand' instead of 'Strand'. Furthermore the tracks have been indexed differently, opening the second track with a minute of ambient noises (you can hear some children's voices in the background) which was originally part of the first track.

Nevertheless, on previous releases, Ricochet, Part Two started with a very soft clapping of two hands right a the beginning of the piano part to give the measure for the music. This clapping has been corrected from the "Definitive Edition" CD, perhaps being regarded as a disturbing noise.

Yes that's to what I refer. So it's likely the new sets are still mistracked.
