Show no mercy came out in the U.S.A in December of 1983 on Metal Blade Records and the European version came out in 1984 on Roadrunner Records and included Aggressive Prefector as a bonus track.
I knew the Euro version has "Aggressive..." but I was not sure about the release date. The very first issue of German Metal Hammer came out in 1984 and had it was advertised in there. That would have been a very good indicator, hahaha... Thank you for the info.
do you know why on the the Metal Blade reissue vinyls I have of Live Undead and Haunting the Chapel the song Aggressive Perfector (closing song on each album ) does not include its lyrics but all other songs do.
That Slayer box looks cool I've not seen that before only advertised on Amazon. The Rage I have both of too. I'm such a sucker for that album. The intended artwork is great. That album might've sold better had they been allowed that artwork. That Wax Maniacs reissue is annoying how it chops that much off. Sodom stuff is probably not going to find it's way in my og shelf lol. I'll stick with the CDs. Even the Steamhammer CDs aren't great. I hate my Destruction ones but the vinyl are £38 each on Amazon so again I'll have to stick with them. Kreator 😂 those bullshit reissues I had on cd and couldn't wait to sell them. While I liked the booklets with them the artwork is awful. Looking forward to part 2. Glad to see you back on screen 🤘
The Slayer box is cool, be only to the fact it´s a single LP, hahaha... Love the Rage album as well, I need to check sound/speed differences of the two versions. All of the older Sodom stuff is petty pricey unfortunately. I try to get it when it´s released since 1987... If you´re lucky you can find old Kreator pressings at a decent price.
Firstly… it’s good to see you Jürgen & I’m glad you’re doing okay mate! I’d not actually seen that ‘Slayer’ 40th anniversary reissue before yano! I really must pick up a copy of that ‘Rage’ reissue with the original intended cover art… I absolutely love that album! I like it when labels honour the original centre labels on their reissues… it’s a touch of class imo! See you in Pt 2 my friend!🤘🏻
Thank you my friend! I can pick up a copy of the Rage album directly from the band but will have to pick it up yourself here in Germany, hahaha... Yeah, I love those "fake lables" as well.
Show No Mercy, Obsessed by Cruelty, Extreme Aggression, Cursed. Wow!!! ... History of Thrash and Death Metal. Cursed is awesome from intro to outro, a journey into darkness. Glad to hear you're fine, have a nice weekend as well. 😊🤘
A lot of classics found the way into this video indeed! "Cursed" is probably the best Death Metal album ever emerged from Germany! I´ve seen them on that tour several times as well as before and after... Have a nice weekend!
Thank you! I left out the sound comparison intentionally, everybody is hearing things a bit different. Some like it more compressed or more "bassy". I usually prefer the old pressings soundwise, the cutting technique in the factories were more precise and the vinyl material had a better quality. Now everything is very rushed. Thank god the "brickwalled" sound of the remasters from a couple of years ago has disappeared, hahaha...
@@albertampel4175 thank you. Yes I completely agree. Most og pressings are better than reissues. Reissues done right are increasingly rare. There is not a lot of attention to details in new vinyl. Pixellated covers, bad mastering etc I really enjoy your channel! Fellow European here. I live in the US but grew up in Northern Italy at the border with Austria. I used to go to Munich and Berlin by train a lot (I am 50 years old) and bought a bunch of punk and metal there. I remember buying Beneath The Remains, Extreme Aggression, South oh Heaven at WOM in Munich. Great times. Do you like Italian metal? There is not a lot of UA-camrs talking Italian metal unfortunately. Schizo, Opera IX, Evol, Dark Quarterer, Death SS, Paul Chain, Abysmal Grief, Fingernails, Bulldozer, Necrodeath, Ghostrider, and many more.
@@amerigoormea High Roller does a pretty good job with their reissues and the prices are still ok. That´s another topic, vinyl prices today... I just ordered the new Saxon, Dickinson and Priest. Holy f**k, 100 Euro for three records... I´m 49 and I used to go to WOM in Munich as well when I was in town. I´m living ca. 100km away, direction Nürnberg. That basement was a goldmine back in the late 80s, early 90s! I indeed like some Italian Metal, they always had a unique sound, no matter what type of Metal. For example Nuclear Symphony played Thrash but did not sound like the Euro or US bands.
@@albertampel4175Yes, Nuclear Symphony were cool. Do you like Necrodeath? They were very Kreator influenced. The voice of Flegias sounds a lot like early Mille. Although I like the singer on the first two Necrodeath albums better. Into The Macabre and Fragments of Insanity are thrash masterpieces in my opinion. Very dark, bordering death and black metal.
It is indeed but it´s pain in the ass to flip it over every ten minutes, hahaha... and sadly enough I missed to take the poster off my wall when I moved out...
For "Show No Mercy" there are two original version. One is of course US Metal Blade from December '84. But even more important is European Roadrunner version from 1984, because it was much more popular here in Europe than in US.
@@albertampel4175 I paid $65 on Amazon but I've seen it on eBay and other sites for over $100. So I'm ok with $65. I don't have that album in my Slayer collection so now I do.
Nice Stein of beer to start the video. Really good to see all those O.G's, that Slayer set looks amazing as well. Looking at that Kreator re-issue there is something wrong with the art direction, looks bad. Or it might just be my old eyes. Good to see you back in the fray, feeling better.🤘
Did you know beer is a "staple food" in my area? I´m not sh**ting you! The Kreator reissues don´t look that good, huh? They fixed it in the "Under the Guillotine" boxset. Thanx for watching!
I know it´s not "re-mixed" or "re-recorded" but it is "re -masterd". It has been made available again so it´s a new issue (version) of the album. Words and speech can be tricky, hahaha...
I have heard people talk about you but never saw any of your videos. This is a good introduction. The only nice thing about Kreator having the "remaster" stated on the cover, was that it made it easier to order online and make sure I got the right cd. With that Rage cover, it's obvious Noise wasn't thinking straight
So, welcome on board, sir! Right, you could not mistake the "remaster" versions with the OGs. Noise Records made some strange choises in the 1980s, hahaha...
Nice comparisons: Personally I don't really care how they look different form another.. for me it's te sound quality that matters. 9 out 10 times I go with the OG. In the Kreator there is a big difference I think. Also do we need a double LP instead of just a single one... that drives the prices way up. Nice to see you again! Cheers buddy A..
I´m a "OG guy" as well! But I don´t mind a good reissue. I´m just a stupid collector, hahaha... Of course we need everything on double vinyl, it just sounds so much better!!! *Irony off* Thank you for watching! I owe you an email...
Hallo Eumel. Ich habe es mir mit Vergnügen angeschaut und denke ernsthaft darüber nach, dieses Wunder von Show No Mercy zu kaufen... Der Preis ist hoch, aber es sieht toll aus, ich hoffe, es spielt sich genauso gut, wie es aussieht. Vor etwa 10 Jahren habe ich mir die amerikanische Neuauflage von Cursed zugelegt, die 2011 von Kreation Records veröffentlicht wurde. Ich bin sehr zufrieden damit, obwohl ich es nicht mit dem Originalsound vergleichen kann, aber wenn ich darauf zurückkomme, bin ich es immer überwältigt vom Klang. Okay, Mann, ich komme zum zweiten Teil deiner Geschichte🙂
Hallo Fozzy! Heute einmal auf Deutsch? Die Slayer Platte klingt sehr gut, sie wurde von meinem Freund Patrick Engel remastered, der ist immer sehr vorsichtig und macht gut Arbeit! Die version von "Cursed" auf Kreation Records kenne ich leider nicht, vielleicht sollte ich sie ein drittes Mal kaufen??? Hahaha...
Hey Jürgen, good to see you and glad you are feeling better!! Great video, love the insights to the various albums, curious though as to your thoughts on how the re-issues sound against the originals. I have several of the RAGE re-issues and I have enjoyed them a lot but I missed several of them and now they are not available, hopefully they will re-press them again soon. Kreator, what they did to the covers of the re-issues is a disgrace!! I hate them, I only got Pleasure To Kill on vinyl, but all on CD, I love all the info inside these re-issues, I am now on the hunt for original Noise versions of 5 of the first 6 albums, only OG I have is Pleasure To Kill, thanks to my friend Jürgen!! Looking forward to part 2 and 3 🤘 ok, now I need another beer, cheers🍻
Hey Ed! I left the sound comarison out intentionally because everybody hears things a bit different. I would have mentioned if something sounded way worse or way better though. If you´re looking for Rage reissues on vinyl, go to their offial website. I know the shipping will be a pain in the ass... The first batch of the Kreator albums looked terrible but I love all the bonus stuff. The versions that came with the "Under The Guillotine" boxset were back to the OG look but missed the bonus s**t. I´m not sure about a part 3 but part 2 will be uploaded soon.
Nice show n tell for OG vs Reissued for some great albums. Glad to hear you are well again mate 🤘I also have been absent from making videos due to some family issues but things are on the mend and hopefully I’ll be back sometime soon
Hi Jurgen, Welcome back, glad to hear you’re feeling better Great video, very interesting..the Slayer boxset is cool I much prefer if the reissue is as close to the original as they can get but bonus material and artwork can be cool Looking forward to part two Cheers 🤘🍻🍻
Thank you sir! The Slayer reissue is cool but way overpriced, hahaha... I bought it as a birthday present for myself. High Roller does a good job rereleasing albums very close to the OGs. The covers have a great quality, they sound good and the have the innersleeves. I like bonus material as well but only on a seperate disc, I hate it when they attach it to the album itself, hahaha.... we´re grumpy old men, huh???
@@albertampel4175 old ? Haha , grumpy maybe 😂I’m talking about myself It does look great , I may invest in it if the price goes down a tad Cheers Jurgen
Hey Jürgen, schön von dir ein neues Video zu sehen. Tolle Idee für ein Video und sehr gut gemacht. Was mich noch interessieren würde, wäre deine Meinung zur Soundqualität bzw. zum Unterschied zwischen den Versionen? Welche Version hört sich besser an aus deiner Sicht? Vielleicht kannst du das in deinem nächsten Video ergänzen. Schönes Wochenende 🤘
Als "alter Mann" muss ich sagen, die Originale klingen immer besser, hahaha... Im Ernst, wenn´s nicht gerade Platten sind, die von irgendwelchen Soundfiles oder anderen Kopien gezogen sind, sind die Reissues ok. Ich meine der Engel (alter Kumpel von mir) macht ganz gut Arbeit, relativ nah am Original, siehe "Show No Mercy". Zugegeben, in den 90ern waren viele Re-releases für´n Ar***, "totally brickwalled", wie der Engländer sagen würde.
Ich habe auch die meisten Scheiben als Erstpressung, z.B. auch die Show no mercy. Aber ich habe mir vor ein paar Jahren mall so einen Reissue auf Splatter Vinyl geholt. Ehrlich gesagt muss ich sagen, dass die Nachpressung nicht viel schlechter kommt. Mir sind die Erstpressungen auch lieber, aber manchmal ist der Reissue fast besser. Kommt natürlich auch auf das Equipment an. Grüße
hey jurgen- curious to see your thoughts on the remaster job on the 40th anniversary slayer record. i just got it and i think it sounds better than my other version on vinyl but maybe im just justifying spending 65 dollars on that! nice vid, glad youre back
The remaster was done by my friend Patrick Engel. He´s very carefull to not overdo anything with the sound. I left out the sound comparison intentionally, I think everybody hears things a bit different. I would have mentioned if a reissue sounded very different (better or worse) though. I usually prefer the OGs... maybe I´m just old, hahaha...
The remaster of the Slayer album was done by my friend Patrick Engel, he´s very careful not to overdo anything with a remaster. I did not do a sound comparison on purpose because people hear things a bit different. I would have mentioned if there was abig difference though. The DMM pressing is cool but a pain in the a** to flip it over every ten minutes, hahaha...
I tried to refuse it as well but I needed a copy that runs on the "right speed", hahaha... Overpriced and totally unnecesarry but nice to have. Collectors Scum, right???
Thank you! No big differences in sound of all of the albums, I would have mentioned that. I left out the sound comparison intentionally, everybody hears things a bit different.
I dont understand why official re-issues often change the logo's, layout etc and zoom/cut the original art work or even change it completely, meanwhile the bootleg replica LP's come out looking almost as originals. I guess the big companies do think if it's on vinyl and title is same, it's good enough for "vinyl maniacs". Luckily the worst days of Back on Black etc pressings are over. With today's technology it would't not to be too hard to do exact replicas. And what bugs me is, the "B" letter of Bathory logo on many new/bootleg releases... I mean people did it correctly with ancient software (or manually cut/paste), but too lazy to do it correct with modern (and complete free) software. Trivia: the 1st 1990's Bathory CD editions have correct B letter on back cover, and more we go to near future the font changed to normal "B", after 2003 re-master's it was always normal old english B font.
Record companies often mess with the artwork or the quality is crap, that´s right. I hate that as well. Back on Black did some horrible reissues. Have you ever heard Dismember´s "Like an everflowing stream" reissue? The sound quality is horrible and the LP is not even cut right! It´s getting better with Back on Black but if possible I refuse to buy them. I have not noticed that Bathory "f**k up". I have my old 80s vinyl copies and never looked at the reissues.
@ampel4175 No I dont have heard that Dismember but I believe. I Sold all my BoB re-issues. I got only "The Return" Under One Flag original, NM/NM old stock copy for 20€ over a decade ago. I did have pause for records in 2004-2009, and missed the other Bathory LP's when they were still reasonable priced at early 2010's. Even did see 1st Bathory Banzai LP for 75€ in 2015 at store and was thinking "too expensive". Damn! Got Kreator "Endless Pain" red vinyl (Noise 1988?) for 25€ from same store, can't complain. Lets see what will happen with the vinyl boom but we will never see the 90's/early 2000's price I guess. The CD's are way to go for many. Albeit the rare CD's will cost a lot too but for common titles it's just like vinyl was.
Are these Wax Maniacs reisues good sounding? Good job on the packaging. I like that they replicated the original center labels and included a US and German version of the same record. The Kreator reissue is ugly as hell looking.
The Wax Maniacs versions sound good, not very different to the OGs. Yeah, the packaging is great but they are expensive as f**k now... Fortunately BMG got back to the original artwork for the Kreator "Under the Guillotine" boxset!
Show no mercy came out in the U.S.A in December of 1983 on Metal Blade Records and the European version came out in 1984 on Roadrunner Records and included Aggressive Prefector as a bonus track.

I have not noticed that Bathory "f**k up". I have my old 80s vinyl copies and never looked at the reissues.
@ampel4175 No I dont have heard that Dismember but I believe. I Sold all my BoB re-issues. I got only "The Return" Under One Flag original, NM/NM old stock copy for 20€ over a decade ago. I did have pause for records in 2004-2009, and missed the other Bathory LP's when they were still reasonable priced at early 2010's. Even did see 1st Bathory Banzai LP for 75€ in 2015 at store and was thinking "too expensive". Damn! Got Kreator "Endless Pain" red vinyl (Noise 1988?) for 25€ from same store, can't complain. Lets see what will happen with the vinyl boom but we will never see the 90's/early 2000's price I guess. The CD's are way to go for many. Albeit the rare CD's will cost a lot too but for common titles it's just like vinyl was.
Welcome Jurgen i love reissues but my gripe is dont mess with the Original art and aspect of the record.
Same here! Hands off the OG artwork, hahaha... Bonus material can be cool but never attach it to the actual album! Press it on a seperate disc!

Are these Wax Maniacs reisues good sounding? Good job on the packaging. I like that they replicated the original center labels and included a US and German version of the same record.
The Kreator reissue is ugly as hell looking.
The Wax Maniacs versions sound good, not very different to the OGs. Yeah, the packaging is great but they are expensive as f**k now...
Fortunately BMG got back to the original artwork for the Kreator "Under the Guillotine" boxset!
Recipients of Death...die selbstbetitelte Debut-Scheibe ist noch geiler.
Finde ich auch, die ist auch auf der CD. Natürlich habe ich beide auch auf Platte. Dämliche Sammler halt, hahaha...
