Remaster Empire with extras.

Anyone have the remaster? I might pick this up if it's worth hearing it redone. Get a poster, postcards and a picture booklet also. Plus a live 1990 concert at the Hammersmith.

Its the same remaster and bonus tracks that already exists, just with an extra live disc added to it and some stuff in a box...

are you talking about the one just re-released? I think the one from a few years ago is fine...

I have none of the remasters yet. I can never find them cheap.

I got that boxset they released a few years ago. I think I got it for $20. I know it was cheap otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it because I had all the cds to begin with. Only thing I hate about it is that there isn't any booklets or lyric sheets and the cds are in slip cases.

The newly released Empire 20th Anniversary Box is the exact same remaster of Empire that already exists, with the same bonus tracks, packaged in a box with postcards and stuff and an extra live CD. Much like Judas Priest's 30th Anniversary Box of British Steel...

well then I am really fine with the older re-master. I really didnt look at the new release because I am not buying the cd a third time...

I will...because I'm a geek that way. But I'll wait til someone turns it in used at the local shop...

BTW, Eyesore - a lot of times Wal-Mart has the Queensryche remasters for around $7-$9...I got Empire and Mindcrime there when I was starting my buy-back...

I never picked up the remaster which came out in what? 2003? So I might have to get this if I can find it cheap.

Its nice - the bonus tracks are quite enjoyable too..

Seems like a bunch of extra unnecessary bells & whistles to me. Here's the original post with all the details if anyone needs to know...

Eyesore, I found all the remastered versions on ebay some time ago, all very cheap. I dunno if they've since been jacked up price wise, but they shouldn't be that much or hard to find.

You don't want the postcards?

I'd send one to Chris DeGarmo. "Wish you were here".

Seriously, what are you supposed to do with them? The last Nevermore album was available in the super-duper delux edition and they came with postcards too. I'd look at 'em once then throw them back in the box. Collectibles? To whom?

Despite what my facebook profile says, I'm not a 14-year old Japanese schoolgirl superfan that has these things plastered all over my bedroom walls with hearts doodled on them next to my Hello Kitty posters.

Truth. Here's a picture from the surveillance camera in MG's room at his Mom's house.

You caught me in a rare moment when I'm actually wearing pants.
