These two measure the same, and I used foobar2k to binary compare the first track on each. They were identical. I kind of infer that Marketing hadn't really sorted their act out. Matrix number geeks will observe the old one has D36771 in the inside ring and the new one has D21041 so these are genuinely different batches, but with the same, 1998 remastered data on them.
