I am wondering if anyone else has decided to try out some of the recent Strawbs remasters out of Japan. Apparently these are all new 2018 mastering even though they do have the bonus tracks from the older discs. I should receive my order from Japan in the next week; hopefully these live up to expectations.

Anyone else taking a chance on some/all of these?

Barry, I have received 'Hero & Heroine' as a trial and on tomorrows playlist. If delighted, 'Ghosts' and Bursting At The Seams' will follow.

Sorry for late reply I did not notice I posted in the wrong forum, can't get anything correct today. :facepalm:
I have Heroine, Witchwood and Ghosts coming. If they are good I will order the rest. Did you get Heroine from CD Japan? I had "points" to use up and brought the price down below the US outlets.

This is the correct board for Japanese reissues, SHM, Blu-spec2 and so on.

You're doing fine, Barry.

I sure did as I get many audio specialties from them, good prices, impeccable shipping. Good online order company who continues to strive to get better.

I ended up getting the set through CD Japan, so far I am very impressed with the sound and packaging.
