Great song selection, but is it a new Remaster?

"Although in many online reviews they refer to this release as a 2007 Remaster, most of tracks sound just like the 2003 Remaster or older, which are not bad, but not as good as the recent 2007 Remasters featured in the "La Mome/La Vie en Rose" soundtrack where you can tell that all tracks have been carefully restored and brought to life. I was hoping to hear a new set of Remasters from the same team that restored the tracks for the soundtrack :(
Anyways this CD-set is a great introduction to Edith Piaf because of the song selection and some of the "rare" versions included (available only on the L'Integrale box set). But not really a must for the ones who already own the EMI/Capitol's 5-CD (100 Chansons), 10-CD (30th Anniversary) or 20-CD set (L'integrale)."
