Live at the Palladium - Sound Quality of the Pickwick CD vs. the 2009 Japanese CD

I have the 1990 CD of "Carpenters: Live at the Palladium" on the Pickwick label.

I was wondering how the 2009 Japanese CD release compares to the earlier Pickwick version.

Is there a noticeable improvement in the sound quality of the Japanese release?
 
The SHM disc is awesome. The box set version is also very well done. The Pickwick version, I’ve read, is poorly recreated. I think Harry explained that awhile back. So anyway, the SHM version is worth pursuing if you like the album. Beware, it’s kind of pricey.
 
I never went beyond the Pickwick version myself, but it is a straight use of the master that A&M used on the LP - opening hum and all. I rarely listen to live stuff anyway, so what I have will do me fine.
