Yeah, the problem with the cd is that it is copy controlled I believe. I bought a Bigger Bang instore sampler which does not seem to be copy controlled and the quality is much better. It doesn't sound compressed like the normal cd, the sound is warm and detailed, a lot of space.
It contains only 6 ABB songs though. I haven't heard the Rain Fall Down single edit but I think that on this sampler there is the only version with "Bankers are %&**($%^#$" instead of "Bankers Are @#$%&"line
I was hoping that the special edition of ABB would not be copy controlled but it is.
