There are mastering differences between the original 1987 release and the later releases (1988 and onward, which all share the same mastering):
"Louie Louie" - The original release sounds terrible. Possibly taken from vinyl? Possibly uses noise reduction? The tail of the fade is really short, no hiss. The rerelease sounds nice, and is clearly taken from a tape source. The original release is 2.1% faster than the rerelease.
"La La La La La" - The rerelease uses the same analog transfer as the original, and sounds just about the same as the original.
"Double Shot Of My Baby's Love" - The rerelease is a differently EQ'd digital clone of the original.
"Wooly Bully" - The rerelease is a differently EQ'd digital clone of the original.
"Expressway To Your Heart" - The original seems to have the left and right channels out of synch by about one sample. The rerelease is a differently EQ'd digital clone of the original, and fixes the synch problem.
"Devil With A Blue Dress On" - The rerelease is a differently EQ'd digital clone of the original.
"I Fought The Law" - The original release is the 45 version and is in fake stereo, and runs faster than the 45 or LP. Might be from vinyl? I think I hear vinyl crackles on the fade? The tail of the fade is really short, with no hiss. The rerelease is the LP version and is in true stereo.
"Nobody But Me" - The rerelease is a differently EQ'd digital clone of the original.
"Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" - The rerelease is a differently EQ'd digital clone of the original, but the rerelease cuts off a portion of the attack of the opening note. The original version includes the full opening note.
"Pushin' Too Hard" - The original and rerelease use different source tapes. The original has a well-defined high end. The rerelease has a very muddy high end, but extends about 8 beats longer than the original.
"Little Bit Of Soul" - The original is in mono, and has an indexing error so that the opening notes are at the end of the previous track. The rerelease is in stereo, and has no such indexing error.
"Dirty Water" - The original seems to have the left and right channels out of synch by about one sample. The rerelease is a differently EQ'd digital clone of the original, and fixes the synch problem.
"Twist And Shout" - The original has the mono 45 version and mono LP version. The rerelease has the stereo LP version.
"Land Of 1000 Dances" - The rerelease is a differently EQ'd digital clone of the original.
"Mony, Mony" - The rerelease is a differently EQ'd digital clone of the original.
"Jenny Take A Ride" - The original release has an indexing error so that the opening note is at the end of the previous track. The rerelease uses the same analog transfer as the original, so it sounds basically the same as the original, but has the opening note fully intact.
