The final version of the album with the final mixes of YOM and TTR, WOJB for me is great. My favorites are INTBIL, with the beautiful interlude that segues seamlessly into the song. That gave me chills - one of the best moment for me. TTR benefitted by having the new stereo piano, which makes the song sound like it was just freshly recorded even though parts of the recording go back 50 years. I do like the additional orchestration on WOJB though the final balance put Karen's vocals a bit further back in the mix than I would have liked. I also like "Superstar" and "Rainy Days..." while CTY was a bit of a disappointment. It lacks a bit of finesse that the original and previous remix versions have. I get the feeling Richard had trouble deciding how he would or could enhance this song. I would have loved it if it had the extended ending that it has on the original CTY album. There were missed opportunities with TOTW and PMP. I think Richard could have done more with new arrangements on these. Overall, the album was a success for me, but only the version with the final mixes.
It's too bad the CD of the album doesn't have the updated version.
Well, we don't officially know that just yet. There have been reports of purchased CDs that may have the updated tracks.
WAIT- there's vinyl?!?! (J/K! Waiting for mine too. A nice Christmas present from my oldest son.)You think it's confusing now, just wait until the vinyl comes out LOL

Are you saying that your already downloaded iTunes versions suddenly “upgraded” all by themselves? Both of my downloaded versions, downloaded the day they both came out are identical to the day I downloaded them. To date, I haven’t been able to hear this alternate version with the harp and no piano.Yes, there were a couple of changes made to iTunes tracks upon the release date, most notably Yesterday Once More's intro. It was surprising to me too to hear my iTunes version suddenly change from the version I initially downloaded. The change was discussed somewhere in the Philharmonic thread. The preview track of YOM that was available as 'single' download had the piano in the start as it is on the CD version, then it was updated with the change on release day with the harp leading in. It's too bad the CD of the album doesn't have the updated version.
