I have had this for awhile and like it quite a bit.  I'm no sound engineer, 
so I have no insights as to techniques, imaging, blah, blah, but there is 
one spot that I don't care for: and that's the bass drum sound in the 
middle section of the Underture, where Moon just hangs out on the bass 
pedal for awhile.  With headphones the sound is way too far up front, and 
doesn't have much character, kind of like a skip in a vinyl album.

All in all, it seems pretty clean to me.  No bonus stuff that I can tell.  
Worth the price just to have the whole thing on one disc.  Three albums is 
just too much getting up and flipping the record!  :)
