I like that album too - and I can see the point of it, as it gave them a chance to not only own the recordings but also capture their more mature sound on an album of tracks that were meant to be heard as a collection. Plus it's recorded for more modern listening equipment and of course you get Brian on drums on all the tracks, as audiences were used to in concerts.
I listen to these versions quite a lot although I think Cavatina is less powerful than the original.
