The Albini version (without the heavy-handed mastering) was actually released accidentally on a vinyl re-release 20 years ago or so in Germany, and I've heard a rip of that. Because it's the same mix (other than the 2 songs) it really doesn't sound all that different. It's a bit drier, a bit duller, and the vocals do sound slightly buried in parts. But honestly, if I was listening to it casually I don't think I'd really notice a difference other than with the 2 remixed songs.
