Reviews & Discussion

Review by We.Have.Explosive Jul 17, 2008 (edited 3 months ago)
Though the lavish presentation of a box-set is a nice touch, the sound quality on many of the 7-inch records within varies greatly; 7-inch vinyl was never the best format for good sound reproduction, and is quite a puzzling choice for an "archive" set such as this. It should come to no surprise, then - knowing of Christian Death's reputation for poorly produced material - that many of the tracks on these records ranges from "bad bootleg" to "good bootleg" (tinny, but listenable). Records 3 and 4 are obviously the best quality-wise, the sheer bombast of tracks like "Believers Of The Unpure" eclipsing the poor quality that mars most of this release. Not for the casual listener.
