Looks like Warner Japan is re-releasing Best of Volume 1 on December 2, 2015 and it will only be available until February 29, 2016. Not sure why the limited time frame, but this is supposed to be a low price, or budget release. I don’t expect anything new or different about it.

Hmm, I wonder why? Could this be a promotion for any forthcoming Japanese tour dates? I know, VERY far-fetched – but who knows…

Seems odd they would rerelease anything with Hagar era songs on it…unless….no. No that can’t be happening.

Maybe they’re re-releasing it with the Hagar songs removed and more Roth tunes to replace them. Or Dave re-recorded Sammy’s vocals.

why do they keep re-releasing shit that is already in EVERYONE’S damn library already…. damn I wish people would NOT BUY this shit…. so damn annoying. Start releasing live dvds, and cds (yes I know we just got one ) from each tour with backstage shit that we all would KILL to see.

I am sooooo sick of these damn regular albums being released OVER and OVER and OVER again….

so annoying!!!

Might it be the record company doing this without any (or only minimal) input from the band?

Yeah, I don’t think the band is involved with the release. It’s a money grab by the label.

yeah I hear ya on that. Even MORE reason why I wish NO ONE would buy it……

Other than the two tunes with Roth, the only reason anyone should be interested in this release was the original pressing that included the alternate mix of RWTD. Outside of that, there wasn’t anything really special about this disc, IMO. I downloaded the 2015 remasters pack and it included (supposed) remasters of CGTSNM and MWM. Not sure what the significance of rereleasing this disc would be other than money. I can’t see it being that big of a seller.

Hmmm
