W.A.S.P. – The Crimson Idol [Japan Remastered 2xCD Expanded Edition]

The Crimson Idol” is the fifth studio album by W.A.S.P., released internationally in 1992 and surprisingly several months later (May 24, 1993) in the United States through Capitol Records.


This Japanese remastered edition including a bonus disc with all the single B-sides plus a great live recording at Donnington 1992 was released exclusively in Japan at the end of the Nineties. Later this 2xCD version appeared in UK for the album’s 15th anniversary using this very same remaster, but this Asian edition is a collectible, deleted and never re-printed again.

QUEENSRYCHE – Queensryche [Japan SHM-CD Remastered +10 bonus], MP3+FLAC


Finally we found it; the Japanese remastered on SHM-CD release of “Queensrÿche“, the band’s self-titled 1983 debut EP, reissued with 10 bonus tracks. It has been reported at many audiophile forums that this SHM-CD is the one to get, where you can really hear a difference. Depends on you, but one thing is for sure; sound quality is outstanding.

In the early ’80s QUEENSRYCHE was known as The Mob, a cover band that played songs from popular heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Their line-up consisted of guitarists Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton, drummer Scott Rockenfield and bassist Eddie Jackson.
