What's the verdict on the mirrorball reissue VS the original release?

I'd also be interested in people's thoughts on this.

I have an original pressing, but haven't been able to hear the re-issue from Neil's archival set.

So they’ve gone in and basically done a new mix of the record. I don’t think it’s lost any of that grit that BOBs original mix had, but because 4 of the tracks of the OG were digitally mixed, Hanlon and Neil went in and did new mixes from the analog tapes. In doing so some aspects were changed. The most noticeable changes are the hey hos in Song x song start until the first chorus. Peace and Love has about an addition 40 seconds of feedback at the end. Overall it’s less punchy and maybe a little more robust in sound.
