There are three known versions of the Hatto Liszt Transcendental Etudes.
The original release of CACD 9084-2 simply takes all 12 tracks from the László Simon recording without any tempo manipulation.
Later copies of CACD 9084-2 use Nojima's recording of Etude No. 5 (feux-follets)  instead of Simon's and boost the sound considerably
The final version of CACD 9084-2 uses Nojima's feux-follets and speeds it up by two seconds.
This final version was later issued as a "revised edition" with a different booklet and the new catalogue number CACD 9259-2
