I’m new to this site that I’ve been following for years.

Hello, I’ve traded with some of you, I also remastered many of our favorite club days boot versions listed on vhboots, I’m JS.

Hello Kevin, remember me, I transferred many of your VHS tapes 10 years ago. Where’s lou?

Hope all is well, please read my post on the new 2015 remasters. My first impression is that 1984 and VH1 are great, but the others suck !

Hide your sheep – saw your post on the remasters. So far I’m in agreement, I do like the 1984 however. The fair warning is a total disappointment to me, even worse than the 2000. The Japanese version clearly blows them all our of the water.

Welcome to the site!

Do you still do remastering work on audio?

yeah i have the 2000 ones (replaced my original ones with those.) I also have the 1998 VH1 gold CD. Also the VH 1978-1984 Japan Box Set (that I always assumed were same as the original US ones.) And the mini LP Japan ones. Are those Japan mini LP CD ones the ones you think sound best? I’m not an audiophile that’s what I’m asking.

I haven’t heard the Japan mini LPs. They could be the same as the forever young versions, I’m not sure. These are the versions I have:

VH1 – USA 2000 only
VH2 – USA 2000 only
WCF – USA 2000 and waiting for the 2015 Japan remaster version to arrive.

FW – USA 2000, Japan forever young, USA 2015 – the forever young sounds so good, so balanced, I listened to mean street and had to keep listening until the album was over.
The 2015 seems too digitally processed. The sound was muddy and I heard clipping on Dave’s vocals. I don’t know what the sampling rate is on all of these, but I’m going by sound quality alone without any bias. Of course everything is subjective so these are just opinions.

Diver Down – USA 1987, USA 2000, and Japan forever young – this album has always been mellow to me. I like the 2000 remaster on this one because it sounds clean an it puts the music more up front by the level of normalization that was done to it. This makes it sound more exciting, I have not gotten the 2015 version yet, but if it’s anything like the Fair Warning copy, I probably will dislike it.

1984 – Japan target cd 1983, USA 2000, USA 2015 – the first transfer from 1983 is very good but I like the 2015 version the best. They did a nice job. My feeling is that the time and money went into the 4-CD package with their new live album, so VH1 probably sounds good as well. I’ve read posts that VH1 sounds very similar and in some cases better than the 1998 gold disc. My feeling is that the other four 2015 remasters are crap, but I’ll let you know after I do more comparing.

Hope this helps you guys sort through all of the different money suckers we’ve purchased in our past.

I remastered them almost 10 years ago. They’re the most common in circulation, you probably already have them. If not I’m sure they’re probably on dime.
