The vinyl is quiet too if you can find a clean copy. In the end the original wins out this time, mostly for having some extra harmonic detail to certain aspects. The UK already has a great balance to it and might not necessarily need any type of enhancements in that direction. The impact of drums are somewhat favored on the reissue, but its a small difference and one that might not even be superior. I thought the bass might be tighter on the original as well but I might be wrong there, its only a little for the most part if anything. On Summer 68 however the vocals are the ones to have an extra rasp and reverb to them without being any more sibilant than the reissue, something the UK Meddle suffered from. The reissue seems to favor the vocals to be more present on Fat Old Sun while the original strikes a good balance, still being present, but un earthing more harmonics and presence to the guitar instead. The UK most notably has the edge on subtle detail, at least when it comes to string instruments. To spoil things a little Ill just say that this has for me been the first clear cut winner out of the Pink Floyd reissues Ive compared with originals so far, which include WYWH, Animals and Meddle. I used Side B to make things easy, mainly Fat Old Sun as I found it to be quite revealing with the micro dynamics and such. With a decent 1G/1G UK first press I compared with my other 2016 Grundman reissue of the album.
