Looks very nice! Their previous compilation was awful.

Finally, a good comp, but where's "Under The Blade"?

I hope it sounds good.

Didn't that come out years ago on CD?

I have this. I listened to some of it today and the sound is good.

How does it compare to the previous comp with the same name?

I can't say because I didn't have any comps before this. I own the Stay Hungry remaster and I like how that sounds.

The song should be on here, that's what I meant.

With reissue remastering the way it is, I would probably want the previous version for hopefully better sound quality, but if this is not too loud or anything, I might consider getting it just to have TS represented in my collection.

This isn't loud..... at least to me. Of course, everyone hears things differently. Loud is how they mastered the companion cd for the new live Blu Ray. I posted actual wave forms for that in that thread. Checking waveforms is something I never do. But this was so loud that I had to see it for myself. Then the mindless drones were attacking me for my opinion/review on Amazon.

:facepalm:

I trust yer ears. If I see this cheap sometime, I may pick it up.

Ahhh, just get it.

I finished listening to it today and I'm officially impressed with the mastering. The later stuff sounds better than the early stuff, but that all comes down to how it was recorded to begin with. But even the early TS songs sound damn good.

The Born To Be Wild track is the unreleased song. It's okay, but nothing to write home about.

I assume this mastering is different from the remastered album since it's a different label?

Who did the remastering and what era is Born to Be Wild from?

Mark MN · 13 Aug 2012

BTBW is from 2005. I'll get back to ya on the remastering.

Okay..... it's 2016 remastering by (get this) Andy Pearce and Matt Wortham. That should make everyone happy with Pearce's name attached to this. :yay:
