tgp Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Tonight I came across two new CD releases of the first album and Fresh at Vinatge Vinyl in Fords, NJ. They weren't on Capitol but on some label I never heard of. On the backs it said they were made in England. Anyone have any idea what these are?

popdude Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Those are straight reissues of the first two Raspberries albums that were just released in the UK on RPM/Cherry Red Records... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I'm in the dark on what CD versions are available from the original albums. Can anyone help?Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannoman Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 yskogg, if it's what I think it is, I have two CDs (Vol. 1 & Vol. 2) that contain all four Raspberries albums. The sound quality is excellent.Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 RPM (the same British label that previously released the double LP CDs) is reissuing all four LPs on single CD digipacks. The first two albums are now available.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuke Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Are they remastered at all?Remixed AND remastered is what they all need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I haven't heard them yet but my guess would be no. Even Capital's so-called "remastered" CD that was shelved a few years ago didn't go back to the original master tapes.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor4Life Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I received the new Collector's Choice catalog in the mail a couple of days ago, and both Cd's were in it...Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannoman Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Bernie,I have both of them. They sound great. Awesome liner notes on a hugh fold-out. Defnitely a "buy."Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Ted,We're talking about the brand NEW releases (not the old two LPs on one CD releases). I don't think the new ones even have liner notes (or at least that's what I was told.)Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dude Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Don't forget the Japanese issued discs from '91 as part of their PastMasters II series. I have all four original CD album releases and, to my ears, the sound is very crisp and bright.If you come across them (now out of print, I believe), I might recommend picking them up as well.

BadfingerBarb Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I believe Cherry Red is reissuing "Side 3" and "Starting Over" at the end of February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawyer fan Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Hi Kathy. Thanks for the info on Vintage Vinyl.I think there is also a noteworthy record/CD store in Princeton which has rare LPs / Cds.It might be interesting to see what they have there. Enjoy.

Raspbernie Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I just bought them. Whereas I can't hear any sonic difference to the double LPs previously issued, the digipacks are certainly very cool. And it's nice to preserve the LPs as they were originally issued. Although it would have been nice to see some bonus tracks, I do really appreciate small labels like RPM helping keep Raspberries alive! I recommend picking them up. They're great additions to your collection! RASPBERRIES FRESH Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
