Are these just reissues or are they remastered? does any one have any info on this?

Thanks

yeah, i was wondering the same, it might be just a simple re-issue of the straight Cds that came out in the late 80s/early 90s

looks like it's just a reissue and not remastered

We have emailed Rhino regarding the Albums, we haven't gotten a response yet. When we do we will post it.

Well, I would imagine that they would be remasters because they are being released by Rhino.

Still no reply from Rhino.

The company listed is "Rhino Encore" (which I assume is part of Rhino) who seem to do reissues from what I can see from a quick look up. Just looks like that's all this is, is a back catalog reissue.

Though just wanted to mention the Amazon descrips say that Easy Action is "limited edition."

Picked them up this morning. Nice, but just a re-issue.

Are you Larry from Burlington?

Yes. Woburn acually. And the packaging is the same. Looking closely it does indicate the words digital remastering by............ . Don't have the CD here. Left it at work. Anyone have it handy?

I seem to recall hearing an alice interview where he stated that they were remastered.

If anything it should be easy to just compare them to the old cds and listen.

Given the current trends in mastering music (loudness and compression), just because it's "remastered" doesn't mean it will be better.

No, you´re right. Hopefully it will be done by people that has respect for the music.

Nice! How do they sound compare to the old cds and the remastered versions on The Alice Cooper box set?

I love the Box set...It has some great old tunes

Jackknife_Jimmie · Post by **Jackknife_Jimmie** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 10:17 pm

So.. has anybody actually heard the remasters yet and can give us a review?

Si · Post by Si » Thu Jun 19, 2008 1:27 pm

From what I'm hearing these are straight reissues of the previous CD versions.
Don't hold me on that though as I don't have copies and Rhino haven't bothered to reply (what is it with record companies??)

I thought you guys might find this interesting. Got it back from Rhino today. (FYI - My suggestion was that they release the later A.C. albums (e.g. - From the Inside, DaDa, Special Forces, et.. al.) with the relative singles/bonus cuts attached to them. Similar to what was done with Welcome to My Nightmare:

Thanks for your email. There will be a limited manufacturing window for these titles, but there will be no limit on how long the available stock will be on sale. Also, thanks for your input. I’ll forward your letter to our suggestion box.
