Good album, meh on the packaging

Great album, good sound on vinyl. Only problem is the vinyl sleeve (I don't know the right word, the cardboard album cover that holds the record) doesn't hold the record snugly. When closed, the record can slip out if you tilt. it

good album, but aside from the couple of hits, it seems boring. theres no flair in many of the songs. love these guys but i was a little disappointed

the vinyl and booklet were top quality, of course

This album is amazing but my ooonnly problem is that the case came with two cracks- one on the front and one in the back. I notices that the only time I've received CD's in padded envelopes instead of card board was the only time they ever came damaged. This also happened with a enveloped Blink 182 CD. Hopefully they go back to cardboard instead of the weak yellow thingies.
But other than that silly little thing, everything was great. c: No scratches on the disk or tares on the album art. Everything looks and sounds perfect. c:

This is a fantastic album. However, when it arrived the record sleeve was damaged. Its very disappointing seeing as how one of the reasons I collect vinyl is having the object. Love the music though, album itself gets 5 out of 5

This is a rating for the actual vinyl product, not the album itself, which is awesome.

If you're thinking about purchasing the vinyl, don't waste your money. It's nothing but a record in a plain white sleeve in a flimsy cardboard cover. That's it. At least the CD would have some liner notes, lyrics, a thank you section... SOMETHING. This record is probably just ripped from a CD master anyway.

So my advice is if you're gonna get this album, just go with the CD. The company that put this out was clearly out to make a quick buck.

With that said, this album is GREAT! A worthy addition to your Motorhead collection.

I really like this album, but the vinyl pressing I received is absolutely terrible - sounds like a bowl of cereal.

I have listened to this album many many times, and absolutely love the album.  While it may seem strange that I am giving it an average review, the problem I have is that the album (while many many times better than the first CD released version) doesn't really sound that great.  It lacks the density of sound that the vinyl has by a long way.  The mastering engineers should have just grabbed the best converters they could find and a stellar record player with a great needle.... then simply source some virgin vinyl.  All they had to do was drop the needle and push record.  This is really a disappointment to me as I was really hoping the CD would stack up but it just doesn't.  The dynamics are good, and the stereo field is nice, but the punch just isn't there.

Before youtube took it down, in some ways, the available full album vinyl rip even sounded better than this CD version of the album, which is pretty bad considering it is streaming from the internet in a heavily compressed format.  Too bad they took it down as this was a better way to experience this album digitally than this master.  I can listen to the vinyl version myself, but the reality is that vinyl is a tedious process to deal with, and my table isn't the greatest.

In the end, this was a vast improvement from the previous CD release, but I guess I'd like to see this re - re mastered again with more attention paid to preserving the texture of the original vinyl.  They could do this release in high definition and I'd love to see DSD also for this one.  It is worth it.

Great album but it came already scratched and it doesn't play the whole way though on disk side 2. I'm disappointed because I really love the music. There's also a lot of static for a new record.

If you're considering buying this album, don't hesitate-- it's a fantastic, refreshing take on traditional C&W. Good for you, Sam.
However, if you're considering buying the LP, please note that Amazon's shipping of it was disappointing. The record was not shrink-wrapped and was, instead, simply placed into a clear record sleeve. As a result, there was a sizable split seam at the top of the cover since the record kept sliding during transit and practically busted through the top. The record itself seems to have been spared (sounds great), but that type of treatment was not worth $22 (when you buy "new," you expect new). Buy it from Sam's merch store instead. I wish I did.

The concept is great: release remastered versions of classic albums in a retro vinyl replica style. I grew up with vinyl, so the concept has appeal to me. As far as the music, this is the definitive album in the BOC catalog, a great album with many great moments beyond the familiar hit, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper." Songs like "Morning Final" "Tenderloin," "The Revenge of Vera Gemini," and "Sinful Love" are all excellent album cuts. Except for the weak "Tattoo Vampire," there's really not a bad track on the album. Now on to the remaster: Culture Factory has pumped up the volume LOUD on the disc, something some do not appreciate on remasters. But the biggest letdown here is the noticeable audio dropouts in the first few seconds of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper." Other tracks sound very clear and defined, and the remastering shows care. As far as the vinyl reproduction cover, it does replicate the original album cover, but the small size makes it hard to read. Also, there is no booklet included, so no further details about the album are here, and there are no bonus tracks. So overall, a worthwhile purchase from Culture Factory USA. A great album (even with some of its silly lyrics), a decent remaster, and an essential hard rock album.

If you love Block B and you want a lower cost version of the Jackpot and H.E.R. tracklist, then get this album but be warned: The packaging is very fragile. It is basically a flimsy cardboard box and my copy was destroyed in the shipping process. The cardboard is thin and just can't stand up to the crushing pressure of shipping. Also, of the songs on the tracklist, only half are new, which is fine if you don't own Jackpot. But if you do, then there just isn't enough new material to justify buying this version. Still, H.E.R. is a catchy song and the photocards for this album are paper dolls, which is too cute.

I have yet to play the album.  However, when I opened the album cover and took out the album, I noticed a 2 to 3 inch scratch running from the center of the album across lots of grooves.  I really hope this doesn't effect the play of the album.  The album cover was sealed, so this should be a problem for the company that pressed/packaged the album, not the retailer.

Good album, not great.  Missing a few songs that really should be one there.  Also, be sure you understand this is the mono versions. Also, it's a bit annoying that the first record is sides 1 and 4, and the other record is 2 and 3.

Good album that is mixed well enough for Vinyl. The album cover feels like an old school paper/cardboard cover and was a great addition to my collection.

Good music. Nice album art. The vinyl comes in a matte gatefold jacket and glossy paper inner sleeve. Lyrics are printed on the inner sleeve and there's a nice picture inside the gatefold.

The vinyl quality, however, is not great. Several noticeable crackles, pops, and scratches. I exchanged it for another copy which is no better. It's listenable but I expect a factory-sealed record to be 99% perfect. This one is more like 80%.

I pre-ordered the album. I received the album on the release date with no issues from Amazon. The album is good, but I recommend knowing what you're purchasing. It sounds like a side project. Full of awesome hooks, but overall there were a few tracks that lacked vision and cohesiveness. Still, it's Sufjan Stevens and he's a genius - so I'm probably wrong.

For music, I'd give this 5 stars.  I like it all, except part of the last CD.  I have the original G.H. vol 1 and 2 on LP, vol 3 on MD, vol 1 on the original CD and the remastered CD, and vol 2 on the original CD.  I needed vol 2 remastered and vol 3 on CD, as the main reason I bought this box set.

But my complaint is with the packaging.  There are less than 2-1/2 CDs worth of music on these four CDs.  CD 1 has about 41 minutes, #2 and #3 are about 38+ and 41+.  Number 4 is nearly full.  What they did is simply take the Greatest Hits vol 1 LP and make it a CD and take the two Greatest Hits vol 2 LPs and make that two CDs - even though both of those would fit onto a single CD.  At any rate, the whole set would fit onto three CDs with more than half a CD left over.  So why not cut it down to three CDs and/or add more tracks?
