  1. They are all his. For the receivers, he says he aligned tuner, de-oxed or used contact cleaner on all pots, switches, controls, checked/replaced all bulbs, spot checked all solders, tested all stages (AM/FM, phone, AUX, etc.), and all ports have been cleaned and tested that speakers & RCA connections are good.

    On the turntables, more or less he said everything was cleaned, lubed, aligned and tested through the receivers that are for sale.

    Sounds thorough to me. Anything else that may be important? I'm waiting on a response from him about whether he'll negotiate prices at all. I checked eBay prices as well, his prices do seem a little proud (but you're right about factoring shipping). Looks like nice stuff.

  2. I tracked down the red version when it first came out, but I really wish this release would have been worth picking up (aside from keeping a collection complete). 2 songs that I've either heard a million times or have 60 copies of already, or another song that is far from being the best they could have chose for a single don't really seem like the best idea for a record that's supposed to be a show-exculsive.

    But the Christmas version does look nice.

  3. NEMS did color releases, but also 180g remasters from the UK tapes (sourced from the original Vertigo tapes). There are a lot of complaints about volume fluctuations with the Rhino reissues - due to the original tapes from WB - especially with Paranoid. However, it seems that whichever versions you end up with are the versions that are preferred (at least reviews seem to reflect this).

  4. pretty steep...300 bucks

    i dunno if i'd drop that much even if i didn't have all but 3 of them from the (excellent) Rhino reissues...

    i was considering picking up the last 2 ozzy albums, even though they are pretty awful just to have them...

    Live @ Last is cool too...

    but damn...300 bucks...no...

    Does anyone have the NEMS reissues? And what's your opinions vs. the Rhino reissues?

  5. I think it's funny that people are referring to this as a "cash grab." I know they have their own pressing plant, but unless they're going to press these to order with a limit of 2000 or whatever it is, it just seems like they can't possibly turn a profit on this type of release. Pirates does make good stuff though, so you know the packaging and presentation will be top notch.

    I've got enough records that just sit on my shelf, so I'm with the majority here and gonna take a pass. I've got all the Rancid records and 7"s anyway, but it would be nice to get some type of 'reasonable' box set.
