I do notice there's less space, or "air" between the instruments compared to the original vinyl pressings, I assume this is because of the increase in volume. I'm just a little surprised how much hatred gets leveled at these. Imo they're just not that bad.
I like both of the Blaze albums a lot. The Clansman is my favorite IM song and X Factor is actually my favorite album by them period. I'm not a Bruce fanboy so I wouldn't substitute him for Blaze on these albums especially X Factor. The only song I don't like on Virtual XI is the last song...
I've been back into Iron Maiden for a few years now since getting off the bus back in the mid 80's. So I've got my collection up to snuff with original vinyl pressings of everything up to and including No Prayer. After that I've got the original EPIC CD of FOTD, Japanese original CDs of the two...
Has anyone heard the bootleg LP "Blaze No Brasil"?
Is it really a soundboard? How is the sound quality?
I saw one today but hesitated to buy it not knowing anything about the SQ.
Thanks!
I have a NM UK vinyl for No Prayer which I have heard is the way to go with that one. The original UK FOTD vinyl is pricey. So I'd like to get the best sounding FOTD on CD. This EPIC should do the trick.
Maiden on vinyl: UK originals for the first four. Different masterings than the US versions. The US pressings sound good though. The Canadian self-titled is better than the US. From Powerslave up to Seventh Son The UK/US pressings are basically the same. The US No Prayer blows, avoid. UK...
I still haven't picked up the last two. AMOLAD has grown on me though. So has Brave New World. Still think X Factor is a masterpiece and my favorite Maiden LP.
Considering that Iron Maiden's music has always been akin to early Genesis LP tracks played at 45rpm I'm gonna say all of'm:) are proggy. Most proggy? Maybe that "aaahhhhhhhh" stuff towards the end of Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". Carry on.....
