Exclusive to the Japanese market is a "deluxe" edition of the album, with bonus tracks from the Studios 60 performance at the end of the disc (You're A Lie, WOF, Driving Rain & Anastasia), and an additional DVD of the full performance ! While I would have preferred a blu ray for optimal image quality, the audio track is 48/16 PCM, so far higher quality than the youtube stream. - Mastering on the bonus live tracks is pretty compressed, but the PCM track ripped from the DVD has more dynamics (well, a bit) : Definitely a better listening experience than the horrendously mixed and mastered main album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Bone Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Thanks for the info. I wasn’t aware of that release at the time, I was more replying to the bootleg Blu-Ray posted above. Was there a download code for a digital version with the RSD release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it went under my radar as well -only noticed it when I ordered some stuff from CD Japan and stumbled upon their edition. Way better than the box they released anywhere else.

Free Bird Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 My Blu Ray from Disc Japan arrived today after several months and a lot of logistic issues. I'm gonna watch it this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can’t believe the universal praise for the Studios 60 mix. It’s like Slash is on a room mic a mile away. Bass and bass drum is pretty tiring on the ear. Prefer the album mix, but I’d pick this kind of mix as a middle ground then. Slash is still Slash, with some attack and presence to the riff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash is still Slash, with some attack and presence to the riff. To each one's own, but I find the album mix congested, flat, badly eq-d, unfocused. Amateur work, in the bad sense of the word. That's not what I had in mind regarding an album "recorded live" in the same room. And the mastering, as expected, is bad. Which is not to say I find the Studios 66 mix a sonic marvel, but it's more pleasing to my ears. I praise it by comparison. Now this does not solve the songwriting, composition and tendency to improvise solos issues, but I digress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
