Hey,I recently picked this up and noticed that two versions exist (an 11 track 1987 and 19 track 1994 pressing). Unbeknownst to me, I snagged the former. Is there any material on the '94 pressing that makes it a must have, or does the original work too?
Thanks for the help! Must be more picky from now on

I only have the expanded album, so I don't know what's missing on the shorter one. But the newer version is also remastered, and the old one was a Len Engel work - from what I've read, you can expect sound improvements of Final Conflict proportions with the remastered version (and it DOES sound excellent indeed).

Yes. The newer Intrada-release (VJF 5004) has about 11 minutes more music than the first release (RVF 6004), but those additional minutes are not so significant.
But the sound!! The newer release is remastered and the sound is much more dynamic and transparent. It is like switching a TV from black and white (the old CD) to color (the new CD).If you like the music, try to find the new release, too. But is was already a limited and higher-priced CD when it came out, so I think it could be expensive today.
The old Len Engel-mixes were all a bit muffled. As Marian already said, "The Final Conflict" is another good (or bad) example.
