Appetite For Destruction Remastered

more than words

As a framer, I find immense joy in framing vinyl records, and one of my all-time favorite albums to work with is "Appetite for Destruction." Not only is it a pleasure to frame, but it's also a personal favorite to listen to. The holographic disc is a fantastic touch, adding a unique and eye-catching element to the display. It's fascinating to see the Guns N' Roses logo appear when the light hits it just right, creating an added layer of visual interest to the framed piece. Now, onto the sound quality. I made sure to keep the other disc I wasn't framing because, as a music enthusiast, I couldn't resist giving it a spin. Despite using an older record player with slightly blown-out speakers, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. The vinyl still managed to deliver a satisfying listening experience, comparable to the newer ones I purchase from the store. All in all, framing "Appetite for Destruction" has been a delightful experience, and it's a wonderful addition to my collection. Not only does it look stunning on the wall, but it also brings back cherished memories every time I listen to it. As a framing enthusiast and music lover, I couldn't have asked for a better combination.

Ya todo lo bueno que se habló de este disco, pero, si quieres hundirte en el verdadero sonido de este álbum compra esta edición de dos discos, es gatefold, contiene 2 insertos que son imágenes de la banda y en la parte trasera las letras de las canciones, te trae funda interior de buena calidad para meter los discos y sobre todo la excelente calidad de sonido de ambos discos, he visto varias reseñas que lo tachan de malo porque salta, pero, el sonido es tan fuerte que la aguja de esos tocadiscos baratos no lo soportan y por eso saltan, pero, si tienes un buen tocadiscos esto no será un problema y lo disfrutarás. Y para finalizar el holograma del final al comienzo se ven como rayones pero cuando gira se ve bien el logo de la banda, si te encanta este álbum y puedes adquirlo, te lo recomiendo sin duda.

Definitely one of the most influential rock albums of all time. The pinnacle of sleaze and glam rock from the LA scene in the 80's and 90's! I bought this album for my 12-year-old son who is educating himself in classic rock from its inception til now

Classic album 👍

I was going back and forth on giving this 3 or 4 stars. In the end I felt the album itself is just too good to give 3 stars. However there are somethings that I would like to point out. 1. The version I received was different than the ones that are shown in the pictures. It did not have the plastic slip cover with the banned original artwork as the outside art of the gatefold and group photo on the inside of the gatefold. Mine was just a regular gatefold with the banned original cover on the inside. I also didn’t get the high-res download code that it states on the wrapper, but that code expired on December 31, 2020 anyway so I guess it doesn’t matter anyway. 2. The audio quality is generally pretty good, but nothing outstanding to call it “audiophile”. There was some distortion on tracks. 3. I like that they split it out to 3 sides, but I think they could have made better use of the vinyl space and let the tracks breathe a little more. The runout tracks are pretty wide and I think they could have spread the music out a little further which would cut down on the distortion. 4. The hologram on the 4th side is pretty gimmicky and useless after spinning it once. A better use of the 2 LPs might have put 3 tracks per side and maybe even up the speed to 45 rpm. That would make a better use of the space and possibly justify that “audiophile” claim. 5. For some weird reason the first LP comes in a plastic lined paper sleeve that is nice so it doesn’t scratch the vinyl, but the second LP comes with just a paper sleeve. I’ll probably just replace both with a MoFi inner sleeve, but it’s just a weird decision to save 50 cents.

Hermosa Presentacion, el sonido no es el mejor pero vale la pena

Best album ever

De tous les albums de GNR, le meilleur et de loin...un classique à avoir dans sa CDthèque. Voix (ce bon vieux Axl était côté à 5,5 octaves - plus que Mariah Carrey : on comprend pourquoi vu la tessiture de voix au spectre large, musique, équilibre de l'album. Un groupe qui savait faire de la musique dans son registre, dans une époque encore créatrice : sans artifice, sans synthé : guitares-basse-batterie.

Classic album. Already had the original CD and vinyl, but stepped it up a notch, with buying the 2 disc edition. Remastered and with several bonus tracks. Including the song "Shadow of Your Love". Which didn't make the album originally, due to a variety of reasons. Plus outtakes from the original sessions, and live and acoustic tracks. Some of which, were available on the "G n' R Lies" release. Packaging is great too. With newly added photos, from the era. There is also a 4 disc version, but a little on the expensive side. So, this 2 disc version, is just perfect.

Sumamente excelente:") como coleccionista o casual es de ley tener este clásico de guns n roses, y se que esta edición será muy cotizada por algunos así que aprovechen

Appetite For Destruction - Deluxe Edition The difference in this remaster compared to the '87 release is outstanding. I'm hearing things I've never picked up on. Sounding like a recording made today. I forgot how much I enjoyed this album. The detail is precise and clear. Slash and Izzy are not as far forward. The bottom and middle are now balanced and natural sounding and the top is no longer loose. And, finally, Duff's brilliant bass can be heard clearly with body. Appetite no longer sounds like a typical CD pressed in the '80s. Disc two offers some interesting tracks. I heard Shadow Of Your Love on a demo 7" way back in '87. It's good to hear it again but cleaned up and remastered. Brought the memories flooding back. The packaging is glorious too. It as an almost metallic sheen to the outer sleeve. The booklet is well produced and the inner gatefold with the Appetite For Destruction painting on the outside. For any fan of this solid debut by a brilliant band, it's well worth a purchase. Fingers crossed for the same treatment to the Illusion albums...

L'intera confezione merita un plauso e dovrebbe essere presa d'esempio da tutte le major discografiche per le riedizioni di grandi classici del passato: l'involucro esterno, che contiene la copertina originale (ossia il quadro di Robert Williams, dal nome che ha dato il titolo al disco stesso), riporta fedelmente l'iconica croce celtica scelta per le edizioni successive alla prima ed è in plastica lucida con qualche rilievo; la copertina, naturalmente gatefold, è in cartoncino spesso ottimamente stampato e le buste dei dischi sono rivestiti di carta di riso, in modo da evitare qualsiasi danno nell'estrazione degli LP; il tutto è stato realizzato con estrema cura e qualità, percepibile anche al tatto (siamo lontani dalle porcherie che si ritrovano nelle ristampe di analoghi capolavori, che sembrano meri ingrandimenti delle copertine dei CD). I dischi sono ben prodotti (piani e dal buon - ma non ottimo- vinile) ed è interessante l'idea di stampare sull'ultimo lato (libero) un ologramma anzichè inserire ulteriori canzoni, che con la tracklist originale non avrebbero avuto nulla a che vedere. Altrsì interessante notare che invece di indicare i lati dei dischi nel modo classico (A, B, C), siano state utilizzate le iniziali del gruppo, ossia G, N e R (del resto il vinile originale, singolo, riportava la G e la R). Il suono è ok, nulla di sconvolgente rispetto a quanto siamo già abituati, segno che dai master originali non è stato possibile ottenere di più (del resto, essendo un album d'esordio, la Geffen non avrà investito chissà quanto sulla sua produzione). In definitiva, un'eccellente edizione, imperdibile al prezzo attuale di 32,99, che consiglio di acquistare senza riserve.
