      WARNER BROTHER IS JOKING WITH CONSUMERS.
      I BOUGHT ZZ TOP BOXET AND I HAD THE RIPED NORMAL CD'S IN MY HARD DRIVE AND THE SOUND IS THE SAME.
      START PLAYING THE 2008 REMASTER EDITION OF -ELIMINATOR 2008 , AND START THE NEW -AFTERBURNER-RECYCLER- REMASTERS AHAHAHA WHAT A JOKE.....THE DIFFERENCE IS FROM ANOTHER PLANET...IT AIN'T REMASTERS.
      WELL AT LEAST WE GET THE RIGHT MIXES....AND 2 LP HAVE REVERSE AUDIO.

        Excellent.
        Monumental failure to Eliminator with Legs replaced with the 'dance' version.
        Except for Rio Grande Mud and Afterburner the CD issue loses all their inner sleeves critically Duegullo which had tons of credits on its inner.
        Otherwise their all good especially if you can fall back on the original LPs for the artwork.

          Very well printed, awesome sound( by far better than the regular cds) the only problem is that they should have included a magnifying glass to see the credits of the back covers...

            The best thing about it, is the original mixes of the albums! Very cool.

              Great sounding set. Mini album covers are cool. It’s a great value.
