Yeah, I gate that they didn't include both on the 1995 reissue.

The 1995 Remaster has both of those tracks on it.

Yeah, I know, I bought that version originally, found out immediately the mix was different from the LP, sold it and started hunting down the original LP mix. The European version was the one I found. I didn't care about Slow Down not being on it because that's the weakest track on the LP anyway, Spiders is a much better song.

S.D., I was actually responding to Kmorg about what was on the 1995 remaster. You are absolutely correct that Spiders is much better than Slow Down. I have the Europen vinyl with that on it.

Stu Hamm - The Urge

Hit a garage sale today and made these pickups for a grand total of $2:

U2 - The Joshua Tree and Live Under a Blood Red Sky
Loverboy - Big Ones
Various - Have A Nice Day: Super Hits of the '70s Vol. 13 (random comp that I grabbed cuz it had Golden Earring's "Radar Love" on it)

I actually like Slow Down. They could have left off So Tired and had both Slow and Spiders instead.

I like "So Tired" because of the ELO connection, the string arrangements were done by Louis Clark.

Ozzy - Bark At The Moon - 1995 Remaster - this is to replace my 2002 remaster that I didn't know had altered solos.

You need to take the insert from the 2002 version and put it in the 1995 case. I hate the covers for those 90s Ozzy CDs, with the tiny artwork. That annoys me almost more than any altering of the music. Not really. But almost.

How were the solos altered on the 2002 version?

Not sure about the guitar parts, but typical of Sharon they removed all of Don Airey's keyboard parts and replaced them so they wouldn't have to pay him royalties. The replacement keyboards sucked bad.

Sorry, I should have been clearer on this, but they pushed all the guitar parts down in the mix. They didn't re-record the guitars like they did with the keyboards. They really screwed those 2002 remasters up and they also deleted The Ultimate Sin and Just Say Ozzy from the catalog entirely. Idiots.

I'm glad my Ozzy albums are origionals then .

That Taist of Iron is a great album. I just got the Skol Records remaster that was just released a few months ago.
