Broadcast 9.8 - Excellent and worthy of anyone's collection without hesitation. It does sound VERY 70's in a good way, I mean, it captures the era perfectly.

Professionally recorded, vinyl source 9.4 - Exceptional. If you are listening for the musicianship than you will love it. This was ripped from a vinyl source and consequently some artifacts are present although minimized. I am inclined to believe some of this is a live in studio recording (listen to "I'm On Fire For You Baby" and tell me that is from the same concert).

Studio Quality 9.8 - The single greatest new Black Sabbath artifact brought to light since When I came Down and The Rebel were found. Stunning, insightful, historic. MUST HAVE of the highest order!

Studio 9.4 - GREAT stuff here, sure to please the most jaded of Stones collectors who haven't heard anything in a long time that hearkens back to the glory days The Rolling Stones at their studio best. A little tape hiss, but really this is right in the pocket.

Audience 8.7 - This could also get a few tenths of a point up for the careful re-mastering that recently was applied to the old tape. It definitely needed a refresh, and it got one and it is way the better for it. The highlight for me is that Randy's guitar is the clearest instrument, followed by Ozzy and the others all decently placed in the soundfield with the only knock being the overall clarity and dynamics. That being said, this is a great recording for the time period, knowing how precious few great sounding Blizzard tour tapes there are. I have to rank this in the top 5 I think, because the guitar is so good (you get the tone, and a great sense of the spirit of the room and the band).

Audience 8.8 - I give this recording high marks for being one of the good ones, and you know how important any live recording with Randy Rhoades is so instantly when you hear this, and your ears go "wow, cool", well that means we have something special. Now, it does take a song or so to get balanced, maybe that is the taper and maybe that is the house, either way it is typical of an old audience tape to start a little rough but settle in as it goes. I am not saying this is super-duper, but when you have at least a very listenable tape, where you can clearly hear Randy and Ozzy, maybe a tiny bit of overload here but it doesn't matter - my ears don't lie and I felt this one delivered the goods.

Audience 8.7 - I can imagine the difficulty in trying to capture something like this with all of the challenges not least of which is sheer volume and venues not ideal for the kind of acoustics metal presents. Does that mean this recording is bad? No, it's obviously done on gear that can handle the job, but to my ears it's something that you will need at least two songs to adjust, but once you do, it becomes the kind of tape that finds you sort of hanging on to see what happens next. It just feels like it will keep improving and maybe it does, or maybe you just find that you kind of dig it. MEGADETH TOKYO 1988 1ST NIGHT Live at Nakano Sunplaza Tokyo, Japan 12th July 1988 01.

Studio 9.8 - As expected, near perfect quality. The mix is a bit different to the album we all know and love, but not enough to change the total badassery of the tones, complexity, inventiveness, and composition. Just a great artifact to get a slightly altered perspective. Megadeth Peace Sells...But Who's Mixing? Alternate mixes 1. Wake Up Dead 2. The Conjuring 3. Peace Sells 4. Devil's Island 5.

Motorhead Live in Lisboa! Right on the first song the band sent the power down! The played too loud – too fuckin loud that the made the life of the soundboard guys a nightmare! Apart from the initial technical issues, the show went on good (and Loud!). A hard-to-find recording nowadays! Brought here be the man who made the sound himself! And to this day can’t forget how fuckin loud the band played! -
Are you a Thrasher? This one’s for you! Testament during the “The Ritual tour” practicing what they preach – Great powerful thrash Metal! Very cool soundboard recording! -
Kiss coming to Brazil in the early 80’s was a truly revolution! It was news all over the place! The Maracana Stadium, used for the first time on this king of show with an international act. The sound could be better if Brazilian sound engineers and broadcast equipment was better, but is decent enough for a soundboard recording. -
Eric Turner made self-released CD called “Demos for Diehards” containing 11 unreleased tracks from Warrant’s early career. Here you have that same set of 11 songs plus a bunch of 6 unreleased tracks recoded though bands career in the 90’s. A must for every Warrant fan! -
Herer are the Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich Demos! The band recorded 21 songs, some of them were left out of the record. So this CD as plenty of unreleased material for any Warrant’s fan to go crazy!!! -
Here you have the Plane Jane Demos (Jani Lane pre Warrant Band) and the very first proper sound recording of a Warrant’s show. Recorded at the legendary Gazzarri’s this show has some tunes never officially released by the band. Songs that did not make it to the first album! -
It's 2004 and Ozzfest has reached New Jersey. Black Sabbath are headlining, but rumors about Ozzy's health are circulating backstage and only one man can save the day: The Metal God, no other then Rob Halford! This the capture of that moment! Fantastic show, great recording! Limited to 200 copies!!!!!! -
Great live performance from Dokken! The Audio came to us from an unknown source and it seems to be a soundboard recording, although the audience noise is loud and clear too, so we have our doubt! It does not sound bad, by any means, but we can’t assure you it is a sound board recording as we usually do.
