Without having heard it - i predict it will sound a lot better than the so-called "remastered" version. He got the 2x45rpm deluxe edition with DMM (direct metal mastering) which only came out in 1986, as far as he found out. Reviewed: NovemWritten after the death of bassist Cliff Burton, Metallica’s infamously abrasive masterpiece gets its 30th-anniversary treatment at a time when its sociopolitical. now what? A friend of mine bought a used copy of MOP in a local record store for only 10 Euros (around 10 dollars). Once opened, fans will get their hands on the newly remastered album. The overall color of the cover is different as well. With a similar price tag as the Kill 'Em All set, the deluxe set of Ride the Lightning is worth your hard-earned cash. Oh and the cover wasn't good as well: The pictures on the back are a lot darker, blurrier and have a red pitch. Unless you have both money to burn and a giant missing hole in your Metallica collection, Id hold off until more details come out.
#Metallica ride the lightning remastered review how to
Seems like they don't know how to make good vinyl records today. I have some of the 2008 remasters on LP and am less than thrilled with the pressings.

The overall volume though is a lot lower than on the original release. Seems also like they applied a lot of compression like they do it on cds. I have the original release of Ride the Lightning and bought the remastered edition (both 33rpm) recently.įirst - the sound: The remastered release simply sounds dull and flat compared to the original release. Frankly - only buy the original releases!Īs nemico said - none of the "remastered" editions is flawless.
