Profile

Was a pro club DJ for many years. Am now semi retired (to save my ears) but still love the occasional night behind the decks. Oh and I still appreciate the Compact Disc too! There’s nothing wrong with a professionally mastered digital file. Vinyl, realistically and technically, does NOT always sound better (even though I love my records).

Conservative media grader who errs on the side of caution. What follows is my two cents worth on the resale market...

Mint means unplayed and sealed if it was released that way. If not factory sealed, it needs to be untouched and if you haven’t owned it since it came out IT’S NOT MINT! If you can’t prove these facts then the next best is a much more honest grading and also more truthful (NM, M-).

Have noticed the beginnings of disc rot on the dvd with this set. Suggest you check yours everybody.

Update 30th December 2023. Thanks to Volpeculis for suggesting that this is not rot but is some kind of surface buildup and will clean away with... See full review

Shame about those overdubbed drums
There IS gold here, for me it’s listening to 20,000 Australians singing “Fernando”. Frida is so moved she gets the band to do it again and lets the audience sing along. We love a good sing song down under!

These (or at least one of the prints) should have been signed for the price. $600 for one album? Maccas having a go at how much he can charge his fans. Ridiculous!

Somebody please tell me why ‘Avalon” is not on the CD with this set? It’s hands down the best live version of the song ever recorded and probably the most faithful to it’s meticulously recorded studio cousin. That’s a big fail not including the audio... See full review

There was a box set released of the first 20 in this series, cat # 439 000-2, anybody got one to sub? I believe all the disc trays were made from gold plastic as I have one from a set that was split up for retail sale.

There is a certain dullness to some of the tracks which could be audio filtering to cover up the crackles from a vinyl drop / rip. Not 100% sure but Cherry Red / BBR don't exactly have a great track record with vinyl rips being sold as remasters.
