Family Friendly Rap God Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 And you actually lose a TON of money buying them that way.... $11.50 apiece plus (knowing What Records) another $30 in shipping... Versus $8 apiece on Amazon with free shipping. (And you can skip the ones you don't want.) This is true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anomynous Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Anybody find anywhere in the US to order the box? It was up on Nuclear Blast for a day but it's not there anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezagenius Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NOCK4ZC Strangely about $8 cheaper if you order from the UK. Maybe Amazon US will come down in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Amazon US will come down in price. That happens every once in a while. I was able to order my Mogwai box set from Amazon UK. Even with shipping, it was still 15-20$ less.

zerohacker Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It's weird to me that the box set on Amazon is being touted as the "complete album collection 1980-1988" when it only has the first three albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raynerho Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 My local record store is getting these in at end of the month with all 8 albums. Isnt somewhere in time and seventh son only supposed to be out in november? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 It's 18.99 € for each LP on amazon Germany (57€ Box; 53€ with Nuclear Blast)....and 9.99€ for each 7"! Quite expensive for a 7"! Maybe going with the LP Boxset...but not in the next couple of weeks. Not interested in the 7", but will there be a boxset holding the singles as well? Haven't found any info...

Family Friendly Rap God Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 My order shipped today from Amazon UK. Should be here Nov 3rd but it was cheaper than US Amazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydrums Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Mine arrived yesterday. Great boxset. Can't wait to add the others and pick up the singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 DO you like the SQ? Talking to folks who own original presses, these reissues are dynamic and uncompressed (good) but dull and kinda lacking (bad). I have the boxset coming but might just sit on it and keep hunting OPs. Too bad, Maiden had another golden opportunity to take my money but whiffed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Mike Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm just popping in here to complain that when shit like this comes up, I say I don't have the coin.

Am I really curious on this matter, I have a few of these albums on older pressings, but would like to pick up a few of the represses as well. Someone with a good rig have an honest opinion on these?

HxChile_ Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Here's a video i found on a maiden collectors group with some thoughts on these and comparisons with the original pressings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rI7YDrAt_U Also, $61ppd for the box: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IRON-MAIDEN-COMPLETE-ALBUMS-COLLECTION-BOX-1980-1988-3-VINYL-SET-/381028465093?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item58b710f9c5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck it, I need the rest of the original albums, and I'm tired of seeing over priced bad condition copies in stores. I'll order piece of mind and number of the beast. I have OG copies of powerslave, somewhere in time and seventh son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hezagenius Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Anyone on the fence about picking these up should do themselves a favor and head over to the Steve Hoffman forums and read their thread about these. It's almost unanimous that a) the new pressings are not as good as old pressings (not really a surprise), but also the UK versions are better than the US pressings. The UK versions were pressed at Optimal (in Germany I believe) while the US pressings were done at URP. There seem to be more instances of poor pressing quality (dirty and/or warped records) with the URPs, although the Optimals weren't totally immune from this. Someone posted a waveform of each pressing for one of the records and there is a noticeable difference. The Optimal looked more dynamic. People said that both pressings seemed to less dynamic than the originals and several people posted that it sounded like a "wet blanket was over the speakers". Some speculated that the master tapes may have degraded quite a bit over 30 years. Others speculated that these new pressings had less EQing done so they sound more flat. Just wanted to throw out that info so you could do a little more research on this stuff before you buy. The UK versions from Amazon UK are still cheaper than the US pressings from Amazon USA, at least for the box. This is not true for the singles or individual LPs.
