Free Music Review: SUB-STANDARD MASTER FOR (ONE) SUB-STANDARD ALBUM
Hit: 1 Stars


The great "Hellbound Train" album aside, you have to be a REAL Savoy fan to want to own "Wire Fire", certainly not one of the band's more auspicious efforts.

Unfortunately, this CD seems to be the only way to now obtain the album; unfortunate, because the audio on this disc is TERRIBLE, especially when compared to other available remasters.

If it's "Train" you're looking for, then please do yourself a favor, and opt for the BGO remastered Street Corner Talking / Hellbound Train "2-fer", which is head-and-shoulders better sounding than this disc.

BGO has issued a series of nicely remastered 2-fers of the primary ten-title SB studio catalog:

Shake Down / Getting to the Point
Blue Matter / A Step Further
Raw Sienna / Looking In
Lion's Share / Jack the Toad

I have A/B'd these to the older 90's London single-disc releases and have found them all to be superior. By all means, if you own the London discs, and you're looking for the best DBaudio, replace them with the BGO's.

For mini-sleeve collectors and audiophiles, there are also two Japan OOP imports of the first two albums, Shake Down and Getting To The Point that may still be locate-able. Both are slightly better than the BGO in audio quality, plus the glossy 'sleeve replications of the 60's LP covers are very kewl.

WHAT IS A JAPAN "MINI-LP-SLEEVE" CD?

Have you ever lamented the loss of one of the 20th Century's great art forms, the 12" vinyl LP jacket? Then "mini-LP-sleeve" CD's may be for you.

Mini-sleeve CDs are manufactured in Japan under license. The disc is packaged inside a 13.5MM X 13.5MM cardboard-sleeve, precision-miniature replica of the original classic vinyl-LP album. Also, everything else packaged with the original LP is precisely replicated and included, such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed LP sleeves, stickers, embosses, special LP cover paper/inks/textures and die cuts. An English-language lyric sheet is also included, even if the original LP did not have printed lyrics.

Then, there's the sonic quality: Often (but not always), mini-sleeves have Japan-dedicated remastering (20-Bit, 24-Bit, DSD, K2 or K2HD, and/or HDCD), and can often (but not always) be superior to the audio on the same title anywhere else in the world. There also may be bonus tracks unavailable elsewhere.

Each Japan mini-sleeve has an "OBI" ("oh-bee"), a Japan-language promotional strip. The OBI often also lists the original album's release date, the Japan street date of that particular disc, the catalog number, and mastering info. Bonus tracks are always only listed on the OBI, maintaining the integrity of the original LP artwork.

The enthusiasm of mini-sleeve collecting must be tempered, however, with avoiding fake copies of Japan `sleeves manufactured in Russia and distributed throughout the world, primarily on eBay. They are inferior in quality, worthless in collectable value, a total waste of money, and should be avoided at all costs.

Also, there are older Japan mini-sleeve releases that have been supplanted with newer ones, usually with updated audio (such as JVC-Japan replacing older K2-mastered titles with new K2HD mastered releases).

All mini-sleeve releases are limited edition, but re-pressings/re-issues are becoming more common with some of the Japanese companies (but, again, not always). Mini-sleeve collecting can get expensive quickly, so, if you're a novice, it is highly advisable to seek the advice of an experienced `sleeve collector!
