No one can expect Nicko to drive under the speed limit; his right foot is just too damn fast!

It’s more than just range and technique with Bruce. Bruce knows how to tell a story with his singing. Even if Paul could somehow hit every note (he can’t) he’d never match the oratory expression from Bruce’s material. He might do some songs ok, the shorter, more direct songs. But he can’t do...

The biggest problem is that no matter how off-topic or rambling or awful Trump gets, his cult will eat it up, regardless of the content.

Stranger Danger in a Strange Land

Total Eclipse is the better song, but doesn’t belong in Gangland’s place.

I think all we know for sure is that whoever printed the art on the new masters used low-res art to copy from, or something along those lines. That said, it's not like the band are going to come out and acknowledge the issue so unless someone does, there's no way to know for sure.

Circling back to The Godfather: everyone should watch the show The Offer on Paramount Plus. It's a 10 episode mini series detailing the making of The Godfather from the POV of Al Ruddy, the producer. It's a fantastic show with a great cast. I understand some elements might be stretched for...

I'm excited about whatever Devin does next. Lightwork was fantastic, with tunes as smooth as his head.

Let me know what you think of SIT! The '95 Castle version I have sounds phenomenal and that's the same mastering you ordered.

For the limited understanding I have of the full situation, this is mostly my take as well. Crimea was "annexed" in 2014. A full 8 years prior to the Russia Ukraine war. I kinda feel that Crimea ever being recognized as Ukrainian territory is a ship that has already sailed. Ukraine is...

I have one of Martin's books on Maiden and don't care much for him at all, so this'll be a miss for me. He's too negative on too many aspects of Maiden and that annoys be because I prefer books to be a bit more objective and not opinionated. Like I'm good with an author talking about declining...

Now you can stick around and learn everything there is to know about Maiden!

Journeyman

Keep in mind that every CD pressing up to and including the '95 2CD Castle Remasters contain the original album mastering. Those are the version I went for and I don't regret it one bit. They sound fantabulous and the bonus CDs include the bsides/single material as well, also.

2am (it says beer in the lyrics and the band played in pubs which sometimes serve beer. The connection is real.)

I assume we're talking the Somewhere Back in Time greatest hits collection, not the studio album Somewhere in Time, to be clear? I have the CD version and vinyl version of this and the covers are the same. I'll sniff around on Discogs and the Encyclopedia Metallum to see if there's a unique...

Murders in the Rude Morgue

Funnily enough, they did a remaster campaign for the first 10 years singles as well. I know because I have all the 7"s on vinyl. So those bsides and such were clearly remastered with the rest of the album.s

I'm loving how nonplussed and over-it-all Book of Souls Eddie looks.

It's this. They're based on not just the original pressings, but the original UK pressings. Hence why the first two albums don't have the extra tracks they came with and such. The idea was to release an updated version of the album as it was originally pressed. Which, to me, is a bit strange...
