Anyone have the art cover of this cassette or can give me any info about the release ?

The guy could put some samples for us to hear.

It's like Jon Bon Jovi - Young Guns Soundtrack. Since it's only JBJ than its an album of his own.

I bought from him Skid Row - Revolutions per Minute.

Whe i saw it was a mexican edition. But for the price it wasn't bad, cause it was a digipack sealed with booklet.

Never bought from him again, so i can't say i have a big negative impression.

One that i got in a Portuguese store for a cheap price and new was:

Trouble - Manic Frustration (2,5€).

The shop was closing and i remember to buy also Dogs D'amour - Dogs Hits and Bootleg Album for the same price.

It's a petty those store have close down. Now we only have here major stores where you can't find this kind of deals.

Rua Passos Manuel 106, 4є Andar

Portugal

Hummm, don't know him either. I will search with some of my sources to see if anyone knows who he are.

Hi there,

I'm from Portugal. Do you have more information about the guy? like which town he is?

Thanks Freddy. I will give a look on the thread

This reminds me also a similar situation on Europe, but perhaps worst. Its the case of the "nice price" editons.

They are even worst cause most of those editions doesn't have a decent booklet.

I've got dozens of "record club" CDs (from both Columbia House and BMG Music Club) and I have never noticed any difference in sound quality from "store bought" CDs. I believe the record club editions are, in many cases, pressed by the original labels and licensed to the clubs. Either version is fine by me.

 

I think there's been at least one other thread about this subject in the past that went into it with more depth, but I'm too lazy to go look for it right now.

 

 

Thanks Freddy. Since we didn't have that situation in Europe, let me ask you this: Club Edition it means you would buy them on Music Clubs like Bars or something near?

The record clubs we have in the US are music by mail order companies that you subscribe to. When you join a music club, they will send you so many cd's for a very low price, and then you agree to by a certain amount more at "regular club prices" until you fulfill your agreement.

 

I personally never had any problem with Columbia House cd's. The BMG ones I do not like at all and it's strictly for personal reasons. I don't like the fact that BMG Music Club is stamped on the back jewel tray, somewhere inside the booklet, and on the cd itself. Also, if you have ever compared them, the cd's from BMG were a lot thicker than store bought cd's. To me it's just not getting the original cd as it was meant to be. I'm currently trying to replace all of my BMG stamped cd's with a regular pressing and so far I have just a few yet to replace.

Thanks Blue. Understood.

I bought several cds' on ebay lately. Most of them don't have the UPC code bar on the traycard wich is replaced with "Manufactured by Columbia House under license," or "Mfg. for BMG Direct Marketing, Inc. under license".

I investigate a little further and seems these are re-edition of the first pressing identified as "record club editions", and at the time a discussion about comparative quality was going through sound thecnics.

My question goes for all the US members. Did you note any significant diferences on this called "record club" releases concernig the sound and booklets?

I'm buying some cd singles on e-bay, since i don't have here 2nd hand stores to hunt.

This were the last ones:

- Poison - Stand

- Green Jelly - Three Little Pigs Picture

- Enuff Z' Nuff - Baby Loves You

- Motley Crue - If I Die Tomorrow

Dan, just curious, why do you put the vinyl releases out?

I was just on before work too

 

I can't really say it was Bob or not because the last few boards all got shitcanned without warning as well. Proboards do occasional checks?

Don't know t-bone. I'm still awaiting for an answer.

I'll let you know if anything comes out again.

I'm done with proboards, and if i'll make anything it will be private and members can only acess by invitation.

well, guess what in about 15 minutes of puting this, the board was gone. No motivation right now to do anything, but only to say THANKS to all the 80's favorite members who participate in the board, and last but no least to say FUCK YOU to the person responsable for the board being delected.

PS: Thanks T-Bone for all your effort there.

t-bone,

his ass is going to be banned with the new changes. just wait.

well to bump this up a little... Lonnie is logged on to another board hopefully he doesn't rip them off as well

 

 

Hi metalhead, thanks for the warning.

 

I haven't been here for awhile, so it took me sometime to read most of this serious issue.

 

very sad indeed, i hope everyones gets his money back.

 

"I receive a several warnings about it yesterday and also a pm from Lon saying he was ripped too and the all history is yet to be told."

 

 

Anyway i will probably banned him till everything is solved.

 

 

 

Thanks again
