Kumiko Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi Margaret!THE SONG--- "You hit of the neck fungus" is ECSTACY!!!(I read the Japanese article.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuke Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yeah,I have an old import of STARTING OVER and the lyrics are horrendous... and horrendously funny.ZukeWe're all in "neck fungus" over this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumiko Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Japanese song title of ECSTACY is "KIMINI KUBITTAKE"."TAKE" in Japanese sometimes means a kind of mushroom! That's why this translation is very funny!!! *"tomorrow will live" - "I WANNA BE WITH YOU. "no touch etc in love"-"NEVER GONNA FALL IN LOVE AGAIN" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering where I could go to order...is this the best place, or is there a way to order them through raspberriesonline.com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvthemraspberries Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Luvthem,Paper jackets on Japanese CD releases are exact miniature duplicates of the original vinyl LP covers—front, back, even spine—and many of them include inserts, miniature lyric sheets, etc. I, like all of the others, wonder if Starting Over might include the poster, or whether Boats will be a mini-gatefold, etc. The British releases a couple of years ago don't hold a candle to the quality of the Japanese releases. First of the all, the British CDs had typos that should have been easily avoided. I'll post more info as soon as I have it!Bernie Thanks Bernie!

Raspbernie Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 I just received my CDs and wanted to report that they are MAGNIFICENT!!! Everyone should buy them as they are AMAZING! The care and love both Japanese labels have poured into these treasures is just MIND-BLOWING. • Yes, the first Raspberries album has a mini scratch 'n' sniff sticker -- you can even stick it on the cover! • Yes, STARTING OVER includes the poster! • Yes, SIDE 3 has both the die-cut cover along with the gatefold. It even has the printed LP sleeve! And the Arista albums get the same TREMENDOUS treatment! • Eric's first album cover is printed with metallic copper ink. The insert with lyrics is included. • BOATS is a gatefold! • CHANGE OF HEART and TONIGHT YOU'RE MINE feature mini replicas of the inner sleeves. Folks, these are beautiful. BEAUTIFUL!!! I guess I should listen to them now :-)Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angloberry Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 So Bernie, you've had all weekend, what DO they sound like then?Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snazz123 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Thanks for the news Bernie! Mine have shipped from Japan and I'm hoping they'll arrive by next week.Yes! What is the sound like?SNazz123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgp Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I just got mine. Haven't listened to them but I cannot find any mention of new remastering anywhere in the credits. I remember buying the Springsteen Japanese "remasters" a few years ago and it turned out that the only thing remastered on them were the covers. I sure hope the Raspberries CDs sound better. I'll let you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Let me know if the sound is better than the previous Japan reissues that I already have...as I don't like to pay $30 just for "cool" liner notes. "Got Poverty?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'd love to buy all of the discs, but the cost is prohibitive. I'll have to make do with the Japan reissues that I already have.Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgp Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 One down, three to go. Raspberries is absolutely improved with the remastering. A nice surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgp Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Fresh sounds incredible. Crisp, clear, and even some extended fade-outs (although that might be my earphones turned up). Side 3 up next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgp Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Side 3...not as clear as Fresh but still an improvement over any other released version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
