Only if you have to have every molecule of information surrounding this quirky bit of new wavery. In addition to a gold LP that sounds like it was sourced from a cassette tape, the remastered gold CD rivals the sound of original LP. But you never bought an Adam and the Ants record for the damn soundstage, did you? Honestly, the CD sounds very good, with dynamics not present on the original 1A pressing we have on hand. Want a smoother listening experience? You can probably find an LP copy in CD sounds great. But the additional discs that offer plenty of booty put it all over the top.
