Product Description
Joe Satriani: The Complete Studio Recordings is a box set worthy of one of the greatest instrumental rock guitarists of our time.

Joe Satriani is the guitar. Plain and simple. No one else has ever been able to play with such pizzazz, such fluidity, such timelessness.

Since the late eighties, the self-taught, multi-platinum virtuoso has been winning over fans and musicians alike with his groundbreaking style and legendary sounds. He has been around the world several times on tours of his own, as well as tours with Mick Jagger, Deep Purple, and hugely successful G3 summer tours and albums with fellow guitar legends Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd and as part of the supergroup, Chickenfoot. He has been both artist and teacher, instructing such famous pupils as Steve Vai, Metallica's Kirk Hammett, Counting Crow's David Bryson, and jazz fusionist Charlie Hunter.

Now for the first time, all of Joe's studio albums are compiled in The Complete Studio Recordings, the most comprehensive collection by the world's best selling instrumental guitarist. 15 albums including the new compilation titled Additional Creations and Bonus Tracks. Featuring brand-new digital remasters for the best sound reproduction overseen by Joe himself, each CD is packaged in a replica cardboard jacket and housed in a clamshell box.

1986 - "Not Of This Earth"
1987 - "Surfing With The Alien"
1989 - "Flying In A Blue Dream"
1992 - "The Extremist"
1993 - "Time Machine"
1995 - "Joe Satriani"
1998 - "Crystal Planet"
2000 - "Engines Of Creation"

Much as I love Satch, I only have a few albums, so this is a "sold" for me.

This guy has rarely disappointed me-I just haven't bought as many of his albums as I should have.

The fact that they are all remastered and Joe was involved? Even more sold.

I gave up on Satriani after Crystal Planet in 1998 for no particular reason, I just sort of lost track as to what he was doing. I might get this as it appears there are 7 studio albums that I do not have.

Wikipedia lists 14 studio albums. So is the Wikipedia listing incorrect? Are they counting Time Machine as 2 since it was a double? Is the 15th disc a collection of odds and ends/rarities?

Yes to the 15th disc.

Not sure yet as to exactly what albums are going to be in there.

Time Machine might make it 15, but not sure as it wasn't all studio.

If I didn't already have all these albums, I'd consider this. It still might be worthwhile just to have remastered versions of the earlier stuff.

Joe Satriani will release “The Complete Studio Recordings”, a 15 CD box set featuring the guitarist’s anthology, on April 22.

All 14 of Satriani's studio albums – from “Not Of This Earth” (his 1986 debut) through 2013’s “Unstoppable Momentum” – are included in the new collection alongside "Added Creations and Bonus Tracks", a newly-compiled disc of rare compositions and performances.

“The Complete Studio Recordings” presents brand-new digital masters, overseen by Satriani, with each CD packaged in a replica cardboard jacket. The library collection is housed in a specially designed clamshell box with a booklet filled with photos and memorabilia from across the decades.

The package will also be available as a collectible, limited-edition USB drive.

The box set will be issued the same month as Satriani’s autobiography, “Strange Beautiful Music: A Musical Memoir."

The Canadian and British pre-orders are up now too. All three links have been added to the first post, along with a very large image of the entire set.

The Canadian price is currently the lowest, about $40 less than the American cost, so once again I would recommend that we lock it in at Amazon Canada:

They must be only including disc one of Time Machine. I realize that this is a "studio" collection, but it still seems odd to only put half of that set into a collection.

A lot of Time Machine was stuff from his first EP and out takes, which could easily be combined with Dreaming #11 or the Additional Creations stuff. The rest could fit on a single disc.

The American pre-order price just dropped by $25 and is now $79.35:

(If you pre-ordered at the earlier Canadian price -- which has since risen -- then you still have the best deal locked in.)

I'm not getting this just for the bonus stuff - I already have all the albums on CD. :)

Yeah, I already have a good amount of that bonus stuff, and to be quite frank, I lost interest somewhere after either Crystal Planet or Engines of Creation. Seeing him live a few months back didn't change my mind either.

I'll just get a couple of the Remasters and leave it at that.

I received my box yesterday. First up was my fave disc, Flying In A Blue Dream.

I've only listened to that one so far, but I can tell you that it sounds light-years better than the 90's remaster. It's a bit louder but not by much.

According to comments elsewhere, there are tentative plans for a live companion set down the road...

Saw the deal before I saw Jimbo's post.

But he can take credit anyway.

+1!

If you're so inclined...John Cuniberti, who did the remastering for this box set and produced many of Satch's early albums and some later ones, made himself available on the Hoffman boards for a Q & A about the box set today. Starts at post #69 near the bottom of page 3 of this thread: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/j ... et.342591/

Most of the questions were respectful and not delving into "One Flew Over the Audiophile's Nest" minutiae/arguments about discs sounding different based on printing plant location etc. etc. that have prompted several highly regarded industry professionals to take a hike into saner areas of cyberspace. :sigh: :facepalm:

That's right—I said "most." One nimrod insists, despite Cuniberti's denial, that the "1st Japanese pressing" of Satch's classic Surfing With The Alien is a "unique mastering." To which Cuniberti responds:

Quote:
Bernie Grudman did the mastering and when he was done I took the tapes home with me. So unless someone broke into my house and stole the tapes and took them to Japan, with all due respect, you are wrong.
:lol:

The nimrod INSISTS it must be so, because the two discs sound different on the nimrod's system. Cuniberti patiently explains:

Quote:
Because CD production was in it's infancy the calibration of level may have been slightly different from plants in Europe, the US and Japan. So if one CD version is a dB or so louder than the other that may be why. If that's the case adjust your playback level accordingly. You guys have way too much free time :)


One part of the discussion deals with the infamous "DR ratings." Since I started a thread specifically on that topic, I've excerpted specific parts of Cuniberti's comments dealing with DR at that thread (post #
