ron (11495)	For those who were waiting for a better deal on the vinyl’s, I see that Amazon has dropped the $120 price to ~$85 on the Deluxe set now. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T38HH3S/ ronQuote

VOODOO (2374)	I just tossed them both in back to back on a couple songs in the car as I was driving. The new remasters aren’t quite as loud and see, to have a bit more lows and highs. The original remasters are mixed a little “warmer” to my ears, but also a little louder. I like them both, but I thought the new remasters were slightly clearer and more dynamic than the original remasters. I’ll try listening to them again back to back tomorrow and see if I hear the same thing. VOODOOQuote

VOODOO (2374)	A comparison of “Ain’t Talkin Bout Love” from both remasters. I don’t know if this means anything, but… VOODOOQuote

JasonA (1104)	Thanks for the update Ron. Between VH, the last batch of Zeppelin remasters and the Sly & The Family Stone box set, July is going to be killing my wallet! EDIT: I noticed Amazon has all of the LPs listed for July 10 except for Diver Down. JasonAQuote

ron (11495)	JasonA: EDIT: I noticed Amazon has all of the LPs listed for July 10 except for Diver Down. I didn’t click through each of the listings. What date is DD scheduled for? ronQuote

JasonA (1104)	Amazon doesn’t have a listing for remastered DD, only for old versions. Soundstage Direct has Diver Down remastered up for pre-order, but no release date: http://www.soundstagedirect.com/van-halen-diver-down-180-gram-vinyl-records.shtml JasonAQuote

ron (11495)	JasonA: Amazon doesn’t have a listing for remastered DD, only for old versions. I think I found the DD stuff on Amazon ? CD: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YJKGTSE/ Vinyl: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YJKGT0C/ With all the different versions, it’s confusing…and I’m not sure the links above are correct. Your SoundStage link looks good! ronQuote
