What's interesting about this is that their first 5 studio albums (all included above) have all been remastered from original tapes, but 3 of their next 4 studio albums have always been mastered from vinyl when released on CD. With those being excluded from these current releases abpve, I'm guessing master tapes were never found for those albums. The 3 in particular are:

79 other side of the road
82 midnight delight
82 strangers in paradise

You'd think with all the countries these albums came out in (UK, Germany, many other European countries) that at least in one country the masters wouldn't have gotten lost, burned, thrown out, or whatever. But these have always come out from cleaned up vinyl. If anyone knows of any to the contrary, please report so here. I know for sure that the ones on UK's 7Ts label, and the Russian 2-fers were from cleaned vinyl for all 3 of these albums.

(Incidentally, the other album from these later years that has been remastered from master tape is:
81 solid ground
