well, i usually buy the japanese stuff from two different japanese shops ( they sell a double for 50$ plus postage ) and the Don’s cds on ebay.es or ebay.it for the equivalent of 30$( the double ) and 15$ the singles, i was able to track down the boxes also in some european fairs (holland, italy ) and the price was well below the sums requested in some japanese or american shops, maybe i was lucky but that’s it :-))
thankx for your comments, Roberto, which i mostly agree with, but at just about all the numerous sources that we order from or seriously consider ordering from, the prices of Japanese releases such as Sigma, Last Scream, no label, etc. are almost always priced no more than a few US dollars ($) different from Godfather releases, so we can’t help but wonder what are these sources which are charging you substantially more for the Japanese releases compared to Godfather
@ careful axeman: i agree with you that the upgrade is not so impressive in terms of lenght of the songs( anyway i confirm that the end of many songs was smoothed comparing to the japanese release) , i guess there are no more outtakes in the vaults to be included and eventually upgraded but (and this is my point of view ,of course!)the booklet really made me consider MUCH MORE COMPLETE this release than the Last Scream’s one , i also appreciate that anyone can find this release on the net for a very affordable price comparing to the one coming from Japan :-))
…..i actually meant to say “MOSTLY just Godfather’s usually excellent ways of packaging”
thanx, Roberto. from the original description posted above, though, i thought it sort of implied that the upgrade would probably come more in terms of length, rather than just Godfather’s usually excellent ways of packaging
i received this morning my copy of Godfather’s ” Zabriskie Point” cd, i only listened to the first disc but if we wanna compare this release to the Last Scream’s one i surely have to prefer the Don’s release: i noticed a slight difference at the end of some songs that were smoothed comparing to the japanese release but the most important thing to me( and i guess this must be valid for all releases concerning outtakes of any artist) is that here enclosed we can find a gorgeous 12-pages booklet that gives valuable infos on each song listed with many interesting details, and more here we have the usual outstanding trifold papersleeve packaging , do the Last Scream’s release has the same stuff? That’s why i easily recommend this excellent ( and DEFINITIVE) effort from the Don’s label, if music is culture here we can learn something
i’ve found what the track listing is for the Floyd Zabriskie Pt. 2CD from one being sold on Ebay, and the only difference between it and Last Scream’s version is that the track “Take Off” on Disc 1 comes after the 2 “Country Song Theme” tracks rather than before them. i realize that most Godfather releases are great, but why the hell would they release their own version with the placement of just 1 track being the only difference? doesn’t make much sense to me, unless the sound quality has been upgraded, which is probably unlikely, or at least one of their tracks is a new extended version, which is also unlikely, and as i said in my previous posting above, there’s very little room left on each disc for anything more
i can’t help but wonder how much more that Floyd Zabriskie Point 2CD can have that wasn’t already on the “Total” 2CD that was released just last year on the Last Scream label (actually Sigma?), as Disc 1 of the older release runs almost 80 minutes and Disc 2 runs more than 77 minutes
Yet again the Godfather pulls out another killer Maiden recording! If it’s a copy of the Jap(?) cdr release “World Slavery tour 1st Night” on “Happyweed productions” then its a great quality recording that hasn’t been traded much. Another Maiden must have :-)
