     I have the CBS version of "Wish You Were Here", and my copy doesn't
have any more hiss than any other analog-mastered CD. In fact, it's
definitely a lot quieter than Stevie Nick's "Bella Donna", as someone else
has already pointed out.

     Don't know about "The Wall", but there's definitely two versions of
"Wish You Were Here", one made by HARVEST, the other made by CBS (at least
that's what the labels say). The HARVEST CD has a dark blue liner, with
drawings of various machinery parts on the cover. The CBS CD has a light
yellow liner with the picture of the guy on fire that's found on the LP.

     Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men (or CD's, for that matter)
