Ah yeah, I do forget about the A COMPLETE remastering. It happened so soon after A BEST 2 I often forget about it entirely until & unless I'm thinking about that version of "M" or the "Who..." bonus tracks, or the photobook lol... d'oh!

A SUMMER BEST, however, was NOT remastered. The release was very rushed, they didn't really have time to give it that treatment... And as someone on Jpopsuki discovered, if you compare the FLAC and 320 kbps mp3s' spectrograms, they're the same... which means they actually pressed the CDs with 320 kbps mp3s. I'm not even joking. Sure enough, looking at the waveforms of my itunes rips of A SUMMER BEST, the A SUMMER BEST files are at an ever so slightly lower volume, which lends itself to that theory.
