Reviews
Getting reissued with the 2018 remastering and original album art through the GNR site in a couple of months: https://gnrmerch.com/products/appetite-for-destruction-limited-edition-lp
Edited 8 months agoQuick Q for the knowledgeable... I've had this since I was a kid in the 80's / 90's. Bought it because of the banned cover. I already had the release version of "Appetite" so there was never a reason to open this. I am pretty sure its original. What 'hallmarks' should I look for on the front and back to verify it for any potential buyer? How do I tell which pressing it is without opening? (Allied vs SRC)
I have the hype sticker warning label with GHS 24148 on the front side and XXXG 24148 on the spine. Anything else? I'm not much of a GNR fan. Is it a good time to sell? Thanks!- There is no album that will make you feel more positive about cracking open that 40 of whiskey.
I have a sealed copy with the Dead Pool sticker on the front. I'm seriously confused as to if this is an original pressing, or if it was a later pressing. I understand the the movie came out in 1988, but I can't find any other version that this could be.
Edited 2 years agoOne of the best Guns N Roses albums in my opinion, no explanation needed when you look at the songs on the album.
I'm seriously puzzled by my copy. Hallmarks all indicate a Warner Communications press (catalog no. 24148-1, Warner on labels and jacket), except WEA is named as the manufacturer/distributor, there is no barcode, inner sleeve is plain polythene w/o original cover or lyrics, and runout etching reads GHS (deleted with X's over each letter) 2 (scratched-out hyphen) 448-(crossed-out B)I-DMM-SR3 (and in addition to the Sterling ID, there is also SP-AUS. Can anyone help identify?
How much better is the remaster compared to the original CD releases? I compared the tracks from Appetite to the ones on GNR Greatest Hits, acceptable mastering unlike the redwalled Bon Jovi botchjobs.- I treasure my Japan EP more than my original uncencored cover AFD. It is far rarer than AFD. I will not buy the new remaster, this album had a complete analog chain and should have been done correctly, as a AAA release. Some albums I can live with a digital remaster, AFD is not one of them.
So many sealed copies for sale...Almost makes you wonder if they aren't....official...- I received my copy of the "Locked & Loaded" version today. Thing is bigger than I imagined. Box said 50 pounds... If there was a lock to the actual item, it could be used as a safe... Anyway.
The AIF files from the USB stick are well mastered, probably taken from the CDs. The vinyls will probably be a bit better, but they didn't squash the sound like many remasters do.
Hopefully, the remastering for the eventual "Use Your Illusion" set will be properly done like the job here.
