Alice Cooper's "Easy Action", "Killer" and "Welcome to my Nightmare" on Rhino coming 1/23/18! *

So, when do I become rich off of my reverse pressings?

 

I took mine back with no issues.

 

Unrelated to these releases but I thought I'd flag that Flush the Fashion, Zipper Catches Skin and Dada are all coming in July.
Thread here - Rhino - Back To The 80's Vinyl - July 2018

 

Did they ever redo Killer?

 

Yes. It will be released on July 20th to coincide with Rhino's Record Store Crawl.

Record Store Crawl Exclusives

 

Glad to hear these releases are still in the works! I was starting to get crossed up always having to pull out the "Easy Action" cover just to play "Killer".

 

Now if Rhino will only do "School's Out" and "Muscle Of Love" next year to complete this whole thing, the world will be upright again.

 

Rhino is forging ahead with Dada, Zipper Catches Skin, & Flush the Fashion on colored vinyl. Street date is July 17th.

 

Darn! I mean, it's good to hear, but they still have releases from the band still left on the table!

 

Don't worry, I can see those two coming soon enough. I'd expect one for the Rocktober series this year at least.

 

Is it stupid that I want to get that Easy Action just to have it on gold vinyl, even though I have a NM vintage copy?

Never mind, I know the answer to that!

 

Ha! I know what you mean so I just switched the records so that they are now in the correct cover (but labeled wrong). Makes it easier to grab the right one to play.....

 

Yes, that seems to be the pattern they've been doing, so I'm holding out hope.

 

Not at all. Buying fresh copies of albums that we really don't need from favorite artists is half the fun!

 

Agreed. Bring on School's Out & Muscle of Love!

 

According to Amazon UK, the colours for the next releases are:
Dada - orange
Flush the Fashion - green
Zipper Catches Skin - clear/black swirl

 

Does anyone know if the purple vinyl reissue of Welcome to my Nightmare was a remaster, and if not, how did it compare to the original pressings,

Also, does anyone have the 2014 MOV pressing of From the Inside and can comment on it?

 

I’ve just bought the Rhino red vinyl ‘Killers’ and I’ve got to say it sounds really good! The vinyl is quiet and the sound quality is quite ballsy.

After reading some comments I was worried about it being badly pressed, crackles n’ pops evident on playback and warped. None of those issues for me. I’ve bought some awful coloured vinyls that have these issues but this seems like a genuinely decent pressing. The 140g vinyl, in my opinion, is just as good as the 180g (which I’ve never been convinced do anything but give the pretence of quality by weight of the disc).

Great reissues!

 

Great to hear! May I ask where you got it?

 

I bought it from Resident records in Brighton, UK.

 

Maybe the quality issues are to do with whether thet are pressed in the US or UK? I’ve always found, on albums I have more than one of, that the UK pressings are usually better soundwise (not on all but most).

 

Lemme second that - we're still a few days from release date for the corrected version!

 

Don't know if it was a new mastering, but it sounded very good indeed.

I don't have their From the Inside, but I have MoV's new Last Temptation (on flame orange vinyl), and it sounds great. I completely trust them - they're to Sony what Rhino is to WEA.

 

Although they are scheduled for release on 7/17 I picked up Flush The Fashion, Zipper Catches Skin and DaDa at Barnes & Noble tonight. They are having a "Vinyl Weekend" with all vinyl 10% off.

 

This edition of ‘Killer’ has been on sale at Resident Records in the UK for the last couple of months. It was only the £31.99 price that made me hold off buying it. Was the vinyl/cover misprint a US only issue?
