Destroyer 45th Anniversary Deluxe Edition [SHM-CD] [Limited Edition]KISSAn Essential Rock Album
This CD - Which needs no introduction - is great for folks like me who want the C SHM-CD remastering without spending big bucks on the huge box set. PLUS, you get Paul’s lead vocals on the much Faster God of Thunder and Rock n Roll demo, which is greatly prefer over the studio version. This is a must have for everyone unless you want the big box

Kids In A Ghost Town (Deluxe Edition) [SHM-CD]NESTORSolid Faux-80s But NOT Their Best
Nestor’s debut is a solid album full of expertly-crafted songs and musicianship. On The Run and 1989 are classics, however, many other songs are just filler. Still worth getting but their NEXT album is basically perfect. Get the SHM-CD for the extra tracks!

Metallica (Remaster Deluxe) [SHM-CD] [Regular Edition]MetallicaA Classic Album & Great Remaster
The Black album is iconic; there isn’t anything I can tell you about it that you don’t already know. As far as the SHM-CS remaster is concerned, this IS definitely an upgrade in sound although the Black album already sounded pretty great. The demos and live tracks are cool too

Last Live [2CD] [SHM-CD] [Regular Edition]Thin LizzyGreat Live, Late Era Lizzy
Thunder & Lightning is my favorite Lizzy album, but that’s because I’m a huge fan of Mr. John Sykes’ playing and writing style. So, Life: Live has all the T&L tracks I could reasonably hope for, as well as the standard classics. Although, Heart Attack sounds been awesome … highly recommended!

Parabellum [Blu-spec CD]Yngwie MalmsteenRelentless Fury!
I have YM’s first 5 albums on SHM-CD - I think they were the very first CDs I purchased from CDJapan - and don’t listen to much else; these albums ARE my childhood. However, when I heard Relentless Fury with YM SINGING leads, my jaw dropped. His voice is great and fits the music perfectly. The music is standard fair for YM, but this is why we love him

Load (Remastered Deluxe) [SHM-CD]MetallicaFinally the Proper Outlaw Torn
This album sounds fantastic, and offers a few legitimately great Metrics songs, including Bleeding Ne, Until It Sleeps and the PROPER cut of The Outlaw Torn, which is absolutely better in this form. The demos and live tracks are great as well. Definitely a must buy if you don’t want to get the box set.

Rock Of The Westies [SHM-CD] [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Elton JohnELTON JOHN ROCKS!
Musically, Rock of the Westies maintains the balance of harder-edged material and effective ballads. In fact, one of the album's strongest suits is the wide spectrum of strong material. In the wake of John's flawless predecessors it remains a strong and worthwhile entry that also set the stage for its follow-up, Blue Moves.

Blue Moves [SHM-CD] [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Elton JohnElton John is a damn fine piano player
This double album is a hidden gem and showcases a departure from John’s more commercially-driven sound by delving into a more introspective and musically diverse style. Sit down, relax, and enjoy Blue Moves as a cohesive piece of musical art; I’m certain you won’t regret it.

Amoeba Gig [SHM-CD] [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Paul McCartneyThe guy's a legend
On this day in L.A., McCartney was having a great time performing. If you dig McCartney and you like live stuff, this is definitely worth your while to check out.

Sarabande [SHM-CD] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Jon LordPure symphonic rock
He delivered this archetype symphonic rock gem for us to enjoy, perhaps just to prove he could. Highly recommended for symphonic rock fans, as well as fans of exquisite piano and acoustic guitar.

Empty Sky [SHM-CD] [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Elton JohnAn interesting debut album
Empty Sky without a doubt is an interesting artifact. While recorded well, there really isn't anything that great despite a few cuts (Empty Sky, Western Ford Gateway, Sails, Skyline Pigeon and Gulliver). What you're left with on this album is naivety and pretentiousness at it's finest.
