Reply To: Remasters 2015: How do they sound?

mdk7691: …And that’s why most of them suck. It reinforces the push for record companies to justify the “vinyl renaissance” and go back to selling records again. Don’t believe the hype. …Still sold on these:

I recently got those Japan mini-LP CDs too. They really did a nice job on the packaging for them. Even included a mini poster of Dave inside WCF. I’ve never understood why Warners has done such a crappy job with the packaging of the VH CDs here in US> I mean how hard is it to put together a nicer package if you’re going to re-release them again? Hire someone to write some new liner notes about just that album and that time in the band’s history (hell, I’m sure Greg Renoff would’ve been up to the task). Include some photos from that album period (calling Neil Zlozower wouldn’t be hard). I know Ed isn’t gonna give them any bonus tracks but at least the record company could do this stuff on their own without any help from Ed, Dave, Al or Mike (although I’m sure Mike would be more than happy to help). I don’t know. It’s frustrating when you see the care that goes into all these other bands reissues and we get pretty much nothing.
