I also find the song selection (20 tracks) very well done. The 2008 "The 50th Anniversary Album" has a remastering of 2000 for it, and the samples of "Move It! The Early Years 1958-1959" (2010) by Jasmine Records have not convinced me that this 2010 compilation has a better sound.īobby Vinton "Star Box" (CD, 2003, MHCP 133): If you are looking for the song "Move It" in particular, this CD has one of the most recent remasterings of that song. Here too, the sound quality is outstanding. In addition, it has three bonus tracks: "Spring Is Nearly Here", "The High and the Mighty" and "Bombay Duck".Ĭliff Richard "Greatest Hits Vol.1" (CD, 2003, TOCP-67165): Compared to the European edition of "50 Golden Greats", this release sounds better. The Shadows "Golden Greats" (2CD, 2007 reissue of the 2000 initial release, TOCP-53664-65): Compared with the previous Japanese release (CD, 1996, TFCK-88748), the sound of the latter is better than the sound of the 2009 remaster, athough the sound level is lower. The album has been remastered but loudness was added during the remastering, which mars the result. Finally, the pictures of the booklet have been softened (some elements have been removed and the red marks have been faded).Ĭarcass "Symphonies of Sickness" (CD, 2009, TFCK-87452): Maybe a consequence of the 2003 release of "Soundtrack to the Apocalypse", which contains both songs.Īnother difference is that an additional 1-page cover was added (white background with golden printings - same cover as the US edition) to mask the original cover. Contrary to "Diabolus in Musica", the 2009 edition of "God Hates Us All" no longer has the two bonus tracks of the initial Japanese pressing ("Scarstruck" and "Addict"). Slayer "God Hates Us All" (CD, 2009, SICP 2358): This 2009 edition contains the two bonus tracks ("Unguarded Instinct" and "Wicked") already available on the initial Japanese pressing. Slayer "Diabolus in Musica" (CD, 2009, SICP 2357): As with "Decade of Aggression", the sound level is lower than "Undisputed Attitude" and "Seasons in the Abyss" "Divine Intervention" has seemingly not been remastered. Slayer "Divine Intervention" (CD, 2009, SICP 2355): At the time, I made a quick comparison with the US edition of 1998 and the only accurate thing I can say is that the 2009 edition is not worse.ĭespite the fact that the sound quality is not as good as the other albums, this remains a first-class live recording with very impressive sound takes, especially on disc 1. The sound level is lower than the above albums and it has seemingly not been remastered. It has been remastered and the sound level is similar to "Undisputed Attitude". Slayer "Seasons in the Abyss" (CD, 2009, SICP 2352): It may thus be that this new US edition and the 2009 Japanese pressing use the same remastering.
This said, I have noticed that a 2007 US edition of "Undisputed Attitude" is now being sold. Compared with the US edition of 1996, the sound is clearer and has been remastered.
Slayer "Undisputed Attitude" (CD, 2009, SICP 2356):
