On Amazon alone currently there are CD released going back to 1993 and that's without imports and not counting "box sets" when it was released with Bat or Midnight etc, different labels have released CD versions.
Unless everyone is comparing exact like for like copies then I wouldn't be surprised if there were small differences. Compared to say the 2008 or 2003 (I think it was around then) re-releases I would think it more likely they would sound/be identical...if you've been harbouring one for 20 years plus (like i know my dad has one from the early 90s, while i have one of the more recent releases...just never really had a reason or need to compare them) then I would quite easily believe they could sound sound slightly different.

Ah look... rational thought in a coherent non abusive post. My CD is ancient came in a set with MATLAF that I can't even find online now. As I have said many times it is perfectly possible that my old CD was an especially bad version and the improvements I hear are purely down to upgrading to the OK version that most other people already had.
