Looks cheap.. maybe they even use the old remaster from the late 90's.. how knows.. record companies are always record companies...

Overkill is a fantastic band in it's genre. The albums from Taking Over to Horrorscope are pure thrash metal. Bobby Ellsworth is maybe the grouchiest and the angriest thrash metal vocalist I've...

I have the 2004 Sanctuary release of Vol. 4 which should be the same as 1996 Castle remaster. It also has the volume level collapse that you described. So, maybe it should be there.

Actually it doesn't matter if the video format is PAL because most of the DVD players can show both, NTSC and PAL. It depends about the region code, and I would guess that if Universal is releasing a...

If I remember right, the DE is as loud as the old EMI. Maybe the mix (stereo mastertape) itself was loud already :/

I think that your remaster sounds maybe a little too shrill. Did you boosted lot frequencies between 5 kHz and 11 kHz? I also think that the original has more punch, maybe there should be little...

I would be happy even if they only release those albums without any bonus material. They are so hard to find nowadays.

I would like to buy Deluxe Editions with fantastic remastering work, good bonus tracks and maybe even some remixing done.

I asked that just because most of those new BS remasters done by Andy Pearce have a lot of dynamic range. So they are 'quiet' :D

I had original Vertigo and Warner Bros. CDs for Heaven And Hell and...

You're welcome :) Do you like loud or quiet remasters?

Yes, Heaven And Hell was remastered, and it sounds fantastic! Very warm, treble (symbals and hi-hat) isn't harsh at all and the amount of bass is much more balanced and natural than in the 1996/2004...

At least the bonus cd of the Paranoid DE is boring. I haven't listened the dvd, but it contains 5.1 surround sound.

2008 Rhino is louder. DE sounds relaxed and warm but of course even a very good remastering can't fix the problems of the mix.

I had earlier the Paranoid Deluxe Edition which has the same mastering than the single disc digipack. Yes, it is louder than for example Black Sabbath, Master Of Reality or Vol. 4 remasters. If I...

I think the old EMI pressing/mastering is the best. I have heard the Deluxe Edition also but it's sounds little too bright and there isn't so much bass compared to old EMI. The EMI pressing has more...

I heard it also. For me it sounds like master tape problem

I think those new Rainbow Deluxe Editions sound bad, bass and treble are too boosted. TE and NSD remasters are also bad, very loud, but maybe that's not his fault. Maybe someone increased the levels...

My Born Again DE copy came today. Listened it through couple of hours ago. The live wasn't so amazing but lot better than the Ray Gillen live in Seventh Star DE. I have to give it another run

But...

Sound is lot better than in The Rules of Hell which was is very compressed and loud. At least Heaven And Hell and Mob Rules sound very analogical and warm to me, I could say that they "breathe". The...

Nice instrumental, gives you a glad feeling. Can also raise good old memories. Maybe little too long

I also recommend that. Live at Hammersmith Odeon is much better than Live Evil. Better sound, great performance and great live feeling

Of course he can't be new Portnoy but i think that he can bring new things into DT. Latest albums have been little bit boring and they are repeating themselves a little bit occasionally. I'm not a...

Yes, that was with Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman. They are rubbish. 2002 remaster of Bark At The Moon has the original players but sounds very different compared to 95 remaster or original cd...

I have to ask one question. Are these releases remastered or remixed? I ask this because if I don't remember wrong, some sources say that the original bass and drum tapes/tracks were restored.

I was able to listen to this DE yesterday. Nice sound, much better than in the version of Rules Of Hell box which is more compressed and louder. But when I compare this to the old EMI CD, this...
