Sweet was a songwriting machine in this period, and in doing source research a third analog master reel with 6 extra tracks was discovered. Intervention's Expanded Edition CD\/SACD is a 21-track Beast that shows a master songwriter at his prolific best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile many of these extra tracks were used as B-sides on CD singles and saw release on other compilations, Intervention's Expanded Edition places these songs in the context they they belong, with the album for which they were recorded. Hearing the quality of tracks like \"Superdeformed\" one wonders how Altered Beast wasn't originally a bigger CD set!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAltered Beast is Mastered Direct-to-DSD from the Original Master Tapes by Ryan K.
