Why is the 1994 Remaster of PATGOD so hard to find here in the US?

Every place I look online only has the older 1987, (Or 1990?) version for sale new.. What are the differences?

Sound. Artwork. I'm only assuming this, I'm far from an expert.

I don't think there are any striking differences, if any. I found mine at Best Buy, but I don't think it was released beforehand anyway.

It sure is easy to get here in Canada.

But then, we never got the 1994 reissue of Dark Side of the Moon for whatever reason. Until last year's anniversary SACD, the 1987 disc was the only CD to be found other than expensive imports.

I sure didn't have any problem finding the Piper re-issue. I didn't buy it inside of a store, but rather on an online music store.

GREAT ALBUM

I prefer the Mono Edition of this Disc. I paid about $20 for it. I'll never listen to it in Stereo again.

The '94 edition is pretty plentiful here.

Your best bet is to look around online. I've never seen it in stores.

There's only been maybe three places I've seen it(One FYE and one Best Buy) and everytime I go there it's there. I guess when they don't sell anywhere else they send them down here to South Florida

Imagine that, an artist whose underground debut album still sells for $17.00 after 36 years.

They must indeed send them all to Florida, it's harder to *not* find a copy here.

Don't even try to buy the stereo remaster. I own it but I find that it sounds kind of strage and some things are missed out during the mixing and remastering. If you really want to enjoy it and are willing to pay buy the mono cd used or something. I didn't need to buy the mono cd I just taped my mono Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and my mono Saucerful Of Secrets records to cassette tape which is fine.
