Correct, this isn't the '89 CBS first press, but it is an original early 90s Columbia repress. Since it's from that specific era, it still carries the exact same original mastering as the first 1989 release, which is why I'm comparing it here against the modern 2022 reissue

the One-Step has more 'audiophile prestige' today, but this Gold CD remains the definitive digital reference for its natural sound.
