JJ The original was in stereo but the remaster is mono. I noticed a bit of sibilance with the remaster too although, overall I was quite satisfied with how this 1967 recording has come up. The Discogs notes for the 2019 remaster state: "Uses the same problematic master as The Loved Ones (2) - Magic Box and The Loved Ones (2) - Magic Box. Only the left channel of the stereo release (The Loved Ones (2) - Magic Box) is used in mono. Note that mono (or stereo) is not mentioned on this release." 'Problematic master'......mmmm. Still happy though. Edited January 28, 2020 by stevoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found a short of the movie online. It was a most brutal deindustrialization of the Midlands & decarbonizing of the UK economy. regards, Gary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZ Top 'Afterburner' 1985 Warner Bros. Records. WEA Records, USA. Vinyl. A great album and superb sound for this US press, I haven't looked it up yet but I think an early one. There's no ZZ Top album that I can't/won't listen to. This next one popped up recently on the 24 Hour/Album thread... 'Heavy' Compilation , K-tel Records, Aust. Vinyl. The Number of the Beast Rock'n Roll is King Smoke on the Water You Really Got Me Paranoid Can't Live Without You Highway to Hell Purple Haze Rockin' All Over the World I Surrender Love Potion No.9 Sunshine of Your Love In the Beginning Layla Stormy Lady She Won't Go An excellent copy of this little gem. The sound is great, and a testament to K-tel who have a few compilations that mean a lot to me. 'Hot Nights, City Lights' is one, and 'Full Boar' another. Being very picky I would have changed the order of side B by swapping Jimi with Rainbow. Krokus 'Headhunter' 1983 Arista Records. Western Germany. Vinyl. This album came close to my 24 Hours/Albums list. For a Hard Rock band this was a little more Metal. Some killer tracks like 'Eat the Rich' and 'Stayed Awake All Night'. The Cult 'Electric' 1987 Beggars Banquet. Made in England. Vinyl. Another album from my 24 Hours/Albums list. I found The Cult through a work colleague just after beginning my first serious 'job'. He gave me a copy of 'Love' to listen to, just before 'Electric' was released. I found them interesting enough to check it out when released. As a Hard/Heavy Rock/Metal Head I could not be happier with the new sound, it truly was 'Electric'. I saw them at Selina's in Sydney on this tour, was only reminiscing about it with a very dear old mate earlier, which actually prompted spinning that one. Lastly, as it's Oz day... another one in honour of ol' mate. We saw The Angels together many times, sh*t faced and loving it. My preference is for 'Two Minute Warning', but he loves 'Howling', and it's a very close call, both great albums. The Angels 'Howling' 1986 Mushroom Records, Aust. Festival Records, Aust. Vinyl. A very close call between them indeed. Great songs, the band had stepped it up a notch with song writing and production. The live performances were highly anticipated with a super charged, electric atmosphere. A band at their peak regardless of line up changes, they were very experienced and had perfected the live gig. Two superb albums marking the end for them, a great way to close. You hit that outta the park Ant. All great bands. I don't have Howling although I did buy it on cassette back in the day. I'm pretty sure Afterburner followed Eliminator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzzFuzzz Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 It's been a while since I've posted on the Metal thread, but I just posted this... Venom 'Welcome to Hell' 1982 - 2003 Re-Issue, Earmark, Sanctuary, Get Back, Made in Italy by Abraxas. ... think Black Motorhead. I mentioned that I have to be in the right frame of mind for Metal. While this next one isn't strictly Metal, it's a bit of a challenge to listen to and I have to be in the right mood... what better way to follow up the intensity of Venom... Massappeal 'Jazz' 1989 Waterfront Records, Aust. Aussie Hardcore outfit with a head splattering sound, well depicted in the cover art. It's a little Metal, Punk, Garage feel, well produced for an underground band. The vocals are Punk/Hardcore style but not constantly screamed full volume. The riffs are fast, furious and tight. The whole band is tight especially while barrelling along at speed. The album has a complexity that is easy to dismiss due to their delivery. I know this album very well and when I lock into the frantic energy, timing and groove, it's very satisfying. Saw them a few times too. This album narrowly missed my 24 Hours/Albums list. In perfect condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
