  6. Beware this guy from Japan

    in Good and Bad Traders, Buyers, and Sellers

    Posted

    Very odd...I have never had problems with anyone from Japan. They are usually too nice for their own good, to a fault I mean. I have had the most excellent service from everyone in Japan. Guess I'll steer clear of this guy. I would anyway just based on the ridiculous shipping prices....

     

     

    Japan buyer to buy from that are GREAT would be bridesofdestruction, Shin from Japan-Trader is excellent, Bandmaster-gr, ddt77, hinomoto1, Kazu1017 to name a few.

  7. Def Leppard - High & Dry: Favorite Song

    in Music Polls and "Best of" Lists

    Posted

    Title track for me... has a better "get f**ked up till you can't stand up" partying song ever been written?

     

     

     

     

    Title track for me as well, but only because Me & My Wine was left off for some reason (shame on you Wes :butt: )

     

     

    I'm with Wes on this also...by far their best release. You can keep your Adrenalize crap...I'll take this anyday!

    The reason I didn't include it is because it wasn't released on the orginal version.

    I know you can get it on import and it was on the re-released version of the cassette, but it's never been released in America on cd.

     

     

     

     

    It actually was released with those tracks here also. I bought my copy still sealed in the long box from Radio Shack in 1992. It had both tracks & they have never carried an import since they have been open. Oh how times have changed...........

    This is the retrospect forum, where people can come and speak their minds. If people don't like the criticism, then don't visit this forum. The way I understand it, this forum was meant for controversial issues as it relates to Retrospect both positive and negative.

     

     

     

    Then I guess David should get his own also because I see more bitching about him than Sam these days..........

     

     

    Just speaking my mind...........

  14. Helpful suggestion for Retrospect Records...

    Hi All,

     

    Like many of you I have been following the controversy over the Retrospect Records thing for a while now. As a collector, I have to admit I was pretty pissed to learn that original CDs I had owned for years or searched everywhere and perhaps paid top dollar for were being offered up as CD-Rs and also being sold for top dollar (which I think is the worst crime at work here).

     

    Now that some time has gone by though, I have to say that it's becoming obvious that even though I have seen an apparent drop in value with some pieces in my collection, the integrity of true collectors still willing to track down and pay for the real thing has not completely ruined the value attached to having the 100% originals on the shelf at home.

     

    Although now it's become much more difficult to decern the real thing from the bogus (without naming titles....ok, Strutt comes to mind! Rare as fuck if you've got the real deal!).

     

    So, while I'm angered at some of the activities with Retrospect, I do admire the desire to release the more obscure music to the masses.

     

    Now my suggestion. The fundamental issue here seems to be the difference between CD-Rs and factory pressed or "silver" CDs. As a rookie member of the HH forums, I'm sure I lack the credibilty of the rest of you on everything, but maybe can provide a fresh perspective for RR.

     

    How about starting from scratch (which appears to be what's happening now?) and make things right? Take the time to respect each and every re-issue in your catalog, as well as every new band you sign....and also for a reasonable price!! EVERY SINGLE TITLE!! It takes a real ass hole (pardon me) to offer up a re-issue, CD-R or not for $40 (The Cauze). It's unreasonable business and totally transparently greedy.

     

    Again RR (Sam?), I'm not jumping you or trying to throw fuel on the flaming. I'm just saying, listen to all the folks out there who love this stuff and give them what they want. There's been a ton of great labels dealing with re-issues (Long Island, Wounded Bird, etc.) who have taken the time and had the interest in protecting the integrity of everything they sell to do it right!

     

    To tell the truth, I wouldn't have touched one of your releases for free until I saw Georg Siegl over at AOR Heaven selling the Mariah stuff. This man is one of the pillars of the selling community for hard rock and AOR collectors and if he is willing to sell it, I am willing to buy it. He's got the same mature attitude about doing business that most of us respect and want to see in the world.

     

    So how about it? Everything silver pressed and officially licensed or authorized by each band, and everything $12 to $15. I'll be a customer for certain then, and I think a lot of others who visit the HH forum will be too.

     

    Thanks for reading my opinions. If you agree, maybe you can all let Sam know we're behind him if he gives us all what we want most.

    Why don't you save this kind of post for your 10th post at least.........

    It's a silver pressing of a new version of the original (lol - if that makes sense). It has 14 tracks and 3 bonus tracks not on the original release. Keep in mind that one song from the original release WILL NOT be on the upcoming release. It also has a 20-page booklet.

     

    Here's an idea of the songs on the cd , track order is different than the last pressing also but here are the songs (in no particular order)

     

    How Close

    Rock Me

    My Time To Fly

    Cold Hearted

    Time Waits

    Into the Night

    Never Too Far Away

    All Night Long

    All Your Love

    Hard Loud & Heavy

    Hungry For Love

    Down the Road (LIVE)

    Rock n Roll Machine (LIVE)

     

    Defcon have recently reunited and are preparing another NEW album for Retrospect Records as well as a few live shows in the Ohio , Illinois , Michigan areas.

     

    I am still working on a Retrospect tour package for Europe which will include Mariah , Defcon and Keel.

  22. NEW SIGNINGS

    I totally agree...Dave, you need to knock off the "back handed" compliments of yours towards Sam...it's making you & your company look very bad...not to mention desperate. As far as I'm concerned, Sam/80's has done a complete about face regarding his posting here & has become a welcome member of the community.

     

     

     

    My thoughts exactly.....
