A couple of new (old!) releases coming on Feb. 14

I might have to bite on these.

 

 

Axe - Axeology, a 2-CD greatest-hits package. I don't know how many (if any) of the tracks are unreleased or alternate versions. $17.99 shipped @ Amazon.

STEVE HOFFMAN mastered this one direct from the original master tapes.

 

Remember the vinyl? That's what you'll get. Absolutely the BEST CD version available without a doubt. No compression, no trans fat and no addatives

 

Trust me!

Wonder what those starred (*) tracks mean are on that Axe disc, leads me to believe those may be alt versions/live???

[Nick C]

I think the * denotes re-recorded according to Amazon, I wonder if they're the re-recordings that were done for the 20 Years from home releases?

I think the label that did the Dio has also done Riot Fire Down Under as well. The first three Dios are about to get the same remaster expanded editions that most of the Sabbath catalog has received.

[hardrock80srule]

I have never had one of those 24k cds but always wanted one. I went ahead and ordered the Dio. I figure it can only gain value in the future. Not that I would ever part with it anyway.

 

I noticed while over at amazon there is also a Bryan Adams cd coming out on the 14th that is 24k. I think it was like 22.00 or something like that

Yep, the DCC gold cd's are awesome if you're an audiophile wanting the best sounding version of a particular album. These are the same guys who released Megadeth's Countdown To Extinction a couple years back. I've picked up their version of Cars - Heartbeat City, Yes - 90125, & Billy Idol - Rebel Yell. And they all sound fantastic.
