Any chance this will have a different mastering (ie. better) than the box set?

That explains why the CD's in the boxset had their own unique catalog numbers and UPC's.

OH come on. Marr's remastering wasn't an audiophile masterpiece but it wasn't that bad. Not perfect, had its flaws, but not terrible.

If you want terrible mastering, I suggest you look at the Cure and R.E.M.'s last two albums. Excessively loud and clipped to death. "4:13 Dream" by the Cure is the worst CD I've ever heard -- sonically speaking. Anything above volume level "2" is unlistenable.
