    Hi Darcy!!! a couple of day ago another channel "Old Head" añso showed the reissues and compared them with OG's and had the same complains about the artwork..... about the saound, just had to turn up a little the volume. Hope you can find a couple of good OG's some day!!! cheers and be well

    Great video! Reissues seems to miss Europe. Glad I have a son that just found a mint original copy of ”The Legacy”. Had to pay about 500 SEK (60 CAD) for it, but it was worth it. Resently also got my hands over an original copy of ”Practice”. Unfortunately (hope that I’m wrong) I don’t think we’re gonna see any reissues on this side of the pond. Take care Darcy!🤘

    Hearing the term "Thrashterpiece" used by someone else makes me so happy. I would put these up there with Seasons In The Abyss, Master Of Puppets, Peace Sells, Agent Orange and Beneath The Remains in my opinion!
    As for these reissues, I love them. At least these blurry images are the original cover art unlike the new artwork they've done for the remasters (which are 50 dollars usd?? Outrageous in my opinion when these were only around 25-30). The splatter vinyls are beautiful as well.
    Cannot wait for the tour, especially with the rumours that they'll be playing all of New Order and Legacy

Real shame that because I think that would've been a popular seller. I compain about every reissue that I used to have or do have an original of and the state of them would have me going into meltdown 😂. Everyone is different and you do you with your own money etc etc but all those reissues would've paid for an original press in whatever condition you wanted. Mine was about £22

    Both are classic thrash albums. I own these on CD. It’s good labels are reissuing these so people are able to get them for a decent price. That’s a big frustration with these metal albums. A lot of them are out of print and go for huge money or you have to be lucky to find them used.
    Are you going to be picking up the new albums from Sebastian Bach and Kerry King? And the new Tony Martin era Black Sabbath box set? (Not sure if I’ve asked in a previous video or not). I have all those on pre order. Looking forward to those.

  • @jeffcoomer8927
    @jeffcoomer8927 6 месяцев назад +9

    The cover reproduction are very dark & blurry compared to the originals I own. Sound wise the originals are better. The new versions sound compressed to me. The originals have a better sounds stage & better instrument clarity. More power in the music. Another bunch of very disappointing represses of 80's thrash classics. Save your money & buy the originals. I would give it a 6/10. I would definitely recommend selling all reissues & buy an original copy. I've given up on these reissues. To expensive $80 each in Australia where a good original is only $20 more. I've owned all originals since the late 80's. I expected better from Nuclear Blast. 🤘 from 🇦🇺
