These releases look brilliant, I’ve been waiting for years for those Dream Theatre albums to be reissued on vinyl! Also happy to see Ramones, ZZ Top and Rush reissues 🤘❤️
Well definitely pick up the Rush albums. Thanks for the update! We’ve been fortunate with Rhino so far. Anything they have released and we purchased, has been stellar so far. Hope you and yours have a Happy Thanksgiving!-Danny & Beth🙏🏻🎧
Scenes From A Memory is my favorite album of all time. Just bought the DT box set, so I don’t really need any of these variants. Nice to see additional releases of these albums from them.
My excitement about vinyl is nil. The pricing is grotesquely expensive. That is the main and most important reason. However, beyond that, there is warpage, surface noise, ghastly coloured vinyl, storage, scratches. I used to have over 5,000 albums back in the seventies/eighties. I now have over 7,000 CDs. No problems whatsoever. The only redeeming factor with vinyl is the sound. But, as I said, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages, for me.
So is this partially from the High Fidelity releases from Rhino? Both ZZ Top and Rush box sets are under the Rhino High Fidelity flag and these albums you can buy right now. In fact, I was thinking about buying Tejas and ZZ Top's First Album releases since they're only $33 getting the audiophile versions right now. Or are these just regular versions being released? This is really weird and confusing the way they're doing this. I do want to get Rush Counterparts and I've been waiting for a reissue of that LP for a long time. But I want to get the audiophile version so I'm wondering if this is what they're releasing in January? Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
@douglasdunn4809 I know what you mean. I went ahead and just bought two of the ZZ Top LPs from Rhino High Fidelity. They have free shipping if you buy $50 or more right now and it says that almost everything is 15% off on the web page. It saved me an extra $12 buying two of the albums I wanted while they're on sale for $33 which saved me another $6 per album. It's really weird that it almost costs as much, or in some cases it is more expensive, buying the non audiophile versions. I also noticed that some of the ZZ Top releases were put out during the Rocktober releases. Really strange haha.
Yes - Fragile (clear), cut by Kevin Gray, was released a year ago as part of the Rhino’s Start Your Ear Off Right Campaign. Now a Steve Wilson mix, cut by Bernie Grundman. Okay...
I’m shocked you don’t know ZZ top Tejas album. For me growing up on Eliminator - when i heard the Tejas album I saw ZZ top completely new. A fantastic grooving album with some of the best music of thee 70’s. In my top 10 albums alltime.
fleetwood mac record plant recording is pretty bad. but rhino are doing it and its 2lps so they probably have the master tape or something. Im not a big fan of the welch era though so ill be passing. Love christine's song "why" but i preferred when they played it in 1975 with stevie and lindsey.
Not the first time the Fragile Steven Wilson remix has been on vinyl. It was in a Steven Wilson Yes vinyl boxed set. Speaking of box sets, I'm a little put off by the Dream Theater releases because Rhino just did a box set of them (black vinyl) and now so soon re-releasing individually... it's making me re-think buying the stupid box sets as so many are seeing the the individual releases come out anyway. grrrrrrr
I have really tried with Dream Theatre but they bore me to tears. Songs are far too long. The live versions are even worse. Thanks for the video anyway
In typical Rhino fashion, they put out a limited boxset, Rush in my case (I know you hate Geddy's voice) and then release the albums individually. Oh well. The shipper from Rhino is incompetent and sent my first box to Germany (where it disappeared and is in someone's basement) as opposed to Canada. Rhino sent another box, using the same shipper, and God only knows where it is now. They probably sent it to Canada Post who is on strike, but maybe they sent it to Brazil 🤣 All I know is that I will never order from Rhino USA again. Geography is not their strong suit!
Most of the releases have been out already as part of box sets or the Rhino Hifi Series like ZZ Top, Rush and the Ramones for RSD their 80's album box sets. Seems like the same stuff other than Dream Theater. The keep rehashing the same stuff over and over.
Buckingham Nicks is not a Lindsey Buckingham solo album, also Stevie Nicks has to okay it & they are not on the friendliest terms. Also, it's not released from the Warner Records family of labels which Rhino releases/re-issues.
That first ZZ Top as far as an original is difficult to find in great playing condition anymore. I would definitely pick that one up if you are a fan. Well done mastering and certainly cheaper than a NM $150.00 original these days. And that Southern Nights album is straight up fire. Must have album of this Rhino bunch imo. This aint your Glenn Campbell Southern Nights😎✌🏻🎸
I think this is the first time in several years that I’m not interested in any of the releases. I know a few people that will be excited for those Dream Theater albums though.
I concur..... overly technical masturbatory playing and lacking in actual good music with worthwhile melodies and themes. Almost all DT has aged terribly. But thats just my opinion and if someone says its their favourite band i wont argue. Thats the great thing about music!!

Great to see the Dream Theater releases (separately), been oop for a long time.
Very excited about The Cult album. First time on vinyl, and their only studio album, until now, to not be available on vinyl, yet.
The price of vinyl is why our vinyl buying has almost ended!
Most of these records are $25.99. There’s no better value right now than Rhino
Just be selective 26 dollars ( £20 uk ) is generally two thirds the price you'd pay in UK for a single vinyl album on release 🇬🇧
Tejas is my absolute favorite album by ZZTOP, and I have most of their albums!
Agree totally
These releases look brilliant, I’ve been waiting for years for those Dream Theatre albums to be reissued on vinyl! Also happy to see Ramones, ZZ Top and Rush reissues 🤘❤️
ZZ Top’s first album is my favorite
Well definitely pick up the Rush albums. Thanks for the update! We’ve been fortunate with Rhino so far. Anything they have released and we purchased, has been stellar so far. Hope you and yours have a Happy Thanksgiving!-Danny & Beth🙏🏻🎧
:Lindsey Buckingham's 1st two solo album are terrific, but it's "Out of the Cradle" that stands as his very finest work.
Scenes From A Memory is my favorite album of all time.
Just bought the DT box set, so I don’t really need any of these variants. Nice to see additional releases of these albums from them.
Did you grab the Kevin Gray Rhino HiFi box set for The Doors? Mine's arriving tomorrow and I'm incredibly excited.

Such an excellent review of all the new releases. Thanks so much.
Excited for that Cult album - 1st time on vinyl I think?
So where are these able to be picked up as i didnt see it on Rhino yet? Are they only available from IRS?
Best imho are the Skull n roses and Toussaint is amazing seen him live twice
I'm sticking with my mantra - NO VINYL IN '25 OR EVER AGAIN. And I didn't see anything on this list that changes my mind.
Always a nice bunch of records.... Here we go.
The Cult and English Beat! Only two I'll pick up, I think.
Interested in some of those Dream Theater reissues. And maybe the Fragile remix. Depends on my budget after the holidays!

FYI the Rush box was not a Rhino HiFi release.
I was going to do the same with the ZzTop. On sale from 33 dollars. I don’t get why they are being released again.

To hell with these greedy companies raping us for vinyl!

Are the ZZ's same as the hi-fi box set pressing?
Buckingham Nicks is not a Lindsey Buckingham solo album, also Stevie Nicks has to okay it & they are not on the friendliest terms. Also, it's not released from the Warner Records family of labels which Rhino releases/re-issues.
The Fleetwood Mac vinyl has already been released on the previous box set and it sounds great
Why is ZZTop's Fandango $40, but First and Tejas are only $25?
It’s only the first that’s $25. The reason for the high prices is people will pay for it!
That first ZZ Top as far as an original is difficult to find in great playing condition anymore. I would definitely pick that one up if you are a fan. Well done mastering and certainly cheaper than a NM $150.00 original these days.
And that Southern Nights album is straight up fire. Must have album of this Rhino bunch imo. This aint your Glenn Campbell Southern Nights😎✌🏻🎸
Nearest record store for me is 100 miles away.
You live in F@ck! That’s too far away
I think this is the first time in several years that I’m not interested in any of the releases. I know a few people that will be excited for those Dream Theater albums though.
Happy for everyone that sees something they want but this is a complete pass for me. My wallet is thankful ….
I wish I had the money for the Doors Box set, its going to be gone before I can get it.
Same! They are probably going to be released individually, though!
@@cindi1992 I hope so, I hate missing this one.
They will come individually almost certainly. They wont beat the AP 45's though.
Not as good of a year as 2024 for RHINO. Meh.
Dream Theater probably on e the worst bands ever - how have they ever leeched a career ?
Bad take. And at least try to learn the language you're gonna use to insult the band.
I concur..... overly technical masturbatory playing and lacking in actual good music with worthwhile melodies and themes. Almost all DT has aged terribly. But thats just my opinion and if someone says its their favourite band i wont argue. Thats the great thing about music!!
@ please accept my humble apologies for the grammatical error , given my destine for the band i simply could type fast enough
