Had a listen and the japanese ones are definatley louder than the warner ones.

Ouch! Sound like a mixed bag.

Fingers crossed for more Audio Fidelity discs in that case

It might be the Warner Bros. CD with EQ applied to it... or perhaps they just both used the same substandard tape copies.

Could be.I've read a few complaints about the EQ and that the bass on the albums is ruining them. I'm surprised there is no mastering credit anywhere on the packaging. Keep the packaging and put the Hoffman disc in it.

Well they are on their way from Japan. Can't wait for them to get here so I can do a comparison..Hopefully these two will haver better sound than the original Warner CDs ...If so would be cool if they would do the blackout albums

Well the rest of mine arrived today and I can say that GTH and l&w both sound way better than the warner ones that we already have. They even have little replica leaflets in them to join the AC fan club

Wow the CDs shipped Wed 1-18-12 I just checked tracking 1-19-12 and the CDs are like 2 hrs away which means they will be here Fri 1-20-12 ..2 days from Japan to Indiana in the U.S Wow...... cant wait to hear them

Nice one Steven let me know what you think. I'm just listening to from the inside and it sounds amazing. Don't know how much you can trust the tracking website if it's the fedex one. I got my CDs yesterday morning but according to the tracking in fedex they are still in another city over 200 miles away

Just got them about an hr ago. Very nice on the packaging..been doing some side by side comparisons and yes these are much better I can hear more detail... I Never Wrote Those Songs I can hear stuff in the Remaster that I couldnt hardly hear in the original..Makes L&W much more enjoyable to listed to...Well now I got to purchase some more now I think From The Inside will be my next...

Would like to know how the new Japan remaster of WTMN stacks up against the WTMN remaster with the bonus tracks and also the same with BDB..

Wish they would go further and do FTF, SF, Zipper and DaDa

I think what I am going to do since Alice gets played alot I am going to put the remaster disc in the old original releases that way I can keep the new ones in like new condition.

I wish Warner would have done the box set with all the bonus tracks etc

Greetings,

I just received "From the Inside" SHM CD and all I can say is, "Wow!"

OK, well, maybe a little more than "wow!"

It sounds so amazing, I have a German import from the late 1990s and the vinyl...this sound just blows them both away.

Also, I purchased "Welcome 2 My Nightmare" on SHM.

The sound of the "regular" release is pretty darn good in my opinion, however, the SHM version sounds even better.

They are a little pricey, but well worth it.

I really enjoyed From The Inside may have to pick that one up then.

Just copy them to CD-R. Problem solved.

Has anyone heard the "The Alice Cooper Show" SHM CD.?

I think all of the versions so far sound, "just ok" at best.

(Hmm, I've puchased the 8 Track version, the vinyl version, then cassette and CD over the years!)

I still love to listen to it though.

What I wouldn't do to hear a cleaned up, full show, version of this release!

From what I've heard, none of these sound especially great.

My go to discs are the Audio Fidelity 24k gold discs. Hope we see a few more of those eventually.

I have all the japanese ones and they all sound great. For me personally i much prefer how they sound as opposed to the gold versions. I would also love to see a full show version of the alice coooper show. I know a lot of people including Alice are not fond of that album but i absolutley love it.

How do the 24krt gold fidelity discs sound?

Also what is a good price for them?

The School's out disc is OUT of STOCK.
No mention anymore from Killer(maybe OUT of PRINT?
Both sound great and on Ebay you can get them for around $35.

And don't forget the Love it to death disc!!!

I have all of these, I bought them with the Billion Dollar Babies and Welcome to My Nightmare boxes.

I don't understand the criticism of the sound quality, since these are easily the best I've ever heard this recordings. I can't even begin to compare to the Warner releases - the original releases were just so poor, imo.

On top of that, of course, you get the packaging - which is nothing short of amazing. There's nothing to fault once all is said and done.

I should also mention, I bought some cheaper ones from Eastern Europe - all fakes. They're bizarre in that the covers are reproduced perfectly - but the discs are the same old bog-standard copies. One of these has a fake "SHM" printed around the hub.

The best way to ensure you get the real deal is to buy directly from Japan.

These are pricey - but so so beautiful.

You may prefer the sound quality, but I've heard them for myself and they suffer due to the use of modern mastering techniques. The Audio Fidelity Gold CDs are superior.

On top of that, "Be My Lover" off KILLER has the same tape distortion at the 3 second mark as the original Warner Bros. CD has which makes the source of these remasters a bit dubious. The Audio Fidelity Gold CD does not have this distortion.

Now, if you're into them mostly for the packaging, it's superb.
