throughbeingcruel Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 It does haha. I'm gonna buy the single LP KeA that just came out, it's $16 locally. I'm not gonna find any of the great sounding pressings for anywhere near that price anyway, so may as well just get the cheapest copy.just got done with side A. Sounds pretty good.

piky0032 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Received both from Amazon today......survived the trip to Australia in mint condition thanks to the massive box and extra padding and then in smaller individual boxes with extra padding. Just flicked through the KEA book....to cool.....and Listening to the Paris 1984 2Lp now.........its totally fucking awesome........I essentially got this for the live stuff and goodies....not so much the album itself, but i will give it a listen and compare to a couple of other pressings i have of both KEA and RTL later tonight......Cliff was so loud on the early gigs......sounds wicked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piky0032 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Down side..........Have just chucked the Live at Palo Alto 1983 Cd in and had a listen......The Reverb/Echo on Hetfields vocals makes this whole gig unlistenable for me.......It will be staying in the box and wont get another listen its that shit.......My Opinion of course.......some may love it Luckily the Live LP isnt like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylfilmaholic Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Spun the two albums only and KEA sounded the best by far. RTL sounds a little off on the first two tracks but clears up on Tolls. Overall I'd say if you can score these for the less than $20 each price they've been going for, don't hesitate. Excited to see what Puppets and Justice will sound like! piky0032 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throughbeingcruel Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Were the new pressings outside of the Boxsets gate folds?Nope.

piky0032 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Just getting around to listening to the actual albums now.....Playing them on a Debut Carbon with Ortofon 2M red....Marantz Pm6005.....Wharfedale 10.1s (stock VC set up? Hahaha) Ride sounds awesome to be honest.....One of the better sounding presses i have ever heard....i think it competes with my OG Japanese pressing and Canadian Pressing that i harp on about. Its ballsy. Not a massive difference and not being played on the greatest set up of all time......but its probably going to be my go to from here on in The record itself is flat as a tack (amazon shipped) no warps and its a heavy slab as well......came dust free and clean as. Im stoked i picked it up......to be honest i mainly got it for the extras (massive fanboy) but im really happy with this pressing as well Ill have a listen to KEA at some point Bring on Puppets in US Fall......Spring for us Aussies psus2h 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the fence about picking up KEA until I hear more about the remaster. Let me know your thoughts! piky0032 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piky0032 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Im listening to KEA now........it sounds solid....everythings there......unless you want track down an OG copy id jump on board. Definitely sounds better than the Warner/Blackened recent reissues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piky0032 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 To add I Just had this delivered... Ride The Lightning - 1987 - Music For Nations - Direct Metal Master 2Lp - 45rpm For those not interested in buying into the new "Remastered" stuff.....if you can find this at a decent price its definitely a pressing worth picking up. This one seems to be almost mint....and im just listening to it now....it sounds probably better than most OG pressings ive owned/heard vinyl addict and psus2h 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl addict Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Can't speak for RTL, but KEA sounds great. If anything, it's a bit bass heavy. The original sounds a bit more rounded to me, but I'd definitely recommend this new repress. Just make sure it's the newest one. The hype sticker should say "Remastered for the First Time" (which is funny in its own right). You definitely don't want the press from a couple years ago. piky0032 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusted_By_Space Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Lars' kick drum is fucking massive on RTL. It's about damn time they got these right. piky0032 and throughbeingcruel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
