mameeshkamowskwoz Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Nice presentation of an all time classic. I may have to check out the big bundle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Yorkified Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Looks good. Just bought this album a month ago though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Really tempted to get the big bundle, but I don't know if I can/should spend that much right now. If it isnt sold out after Christmas, I'll probably go for it. Wish it was limited... The Raekwon purple tape release was numbered, I was hoping this would be too.

AlexH. Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 On one hand, it is no great surprise to me that this thread has 3 replies as the thread about making a Twitter version of this message board approaches 7 pages. On the other hand, here we have an opportunity to buy a remastered reissue of the greatest rap debut of all time, and it comes with a poster and a hardcover book, put out by Get On Down who do excellent work, and you morons don't even care!

PC Music Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 It's not remastered, is it? That's a really great value, but I'm good just having the 10 dollar version of the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 The CD version is remastered. Unless they somehow got the plates from whoever did the last vinyl reissue (which appears to be the 2005 Simply Vinyl reissue in Europe), they'd have had to cut new plates. If they remastered the audio for CD, they most likely would go ahead and use that new master to cut the new plates. Besides, unlike most music, 90s rap usually benefits from a remastering. To me, it always sounds really flat and dull sonically, the sound needs some punch to complement the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 If you email Get On Down and ask about it, they'll tell you or find out for you... I've asked them about stuff in the past (The Man With The Iron Fists soundtrack) and they've emailed me back fairly quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
