    Queensryche was great. No new tracks at all. All songs from the warning ,rage to order, mindcrime , one from the EP and the other from Empire. 11 songs total. All killer. No filler.

    After I inquired about new CD sleeves, I was given a 20% refund. (And the money actually showed up on my credit card.). I don't know if the replacement sleeves are ever coming or not.

    Over the years I ended up with a handful of cd boots.These were either heard for free or I found physical copies very inexpensive.I am happy with the sound of these.I haven’t heard any shows from this boxset.The only CDs that looked interesting was the Screaming For Vengeance show.

    Today I got a message from music today saying that wallets will now go out automatically and to not worry about sending back the set. This is a cluster. The back and forth. I don’t think they are being consistent with their responses. I think everyone who ordered this set should get 20% refunded to the credit card used for the transaction !

    Hello Joseph,

    Thank you for contacting the Judas Priests Store,

    I completely understand, after reaching out and requesting more information it seems a decision has been made where you do not need to return the box set to receive the replacement in May! You will be notified via email once your replacement box set has been shipped.

    Thank you for being so patient throughout this matter and I apologize for any inconveniences it has caused.

    Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.

    Sincerely,

    Samantha

    I heard that Kontraband. Another company that was also selling the Judas Priest box set. Is not requiring customers to send back the box. They are just automatically sending out the 6 replacement wallets

    I'm not playing around with this band, I distinctly remember the so called "remasters" being the worst remasters I have ever heard.

    I'll wait for DR values to leak, until then they have to earn my money the hard way.

    The DR numbers are in this thread. Apart from the Ripper albums and onwards, the numbers are very good, the masterings are based on first issued CDs afaik.

    I got an email today from Kontraband saying my 7 replacement CD covers have been sent.

    Well my replacement CD covers arrived today, so that's at least fixed some of the issues.

    I told Kontraband that they should refund 20% of the box cost as an apology, but so far it's fallen on deaf ears, won't hold my breath.

    I must admit, my least favourite of the bonus live CDs, is Atlanta 1982, too much reverb.

    Kontraband replied to me and said that they were the only official retailer of this box set and that they can't comment on refunds from another outlet.

    If that's the case, how did buyers get hold of the box set if they didn't buy it from Kontraband?

    Just had yet another email from Kontraband, as you can see below, they now admit there was another official retailer.



    Hi,

    Just spoken to the label and it does indeed seem there was a US retailer as you mention. However, I really am not able to comment in regards to this I'm afraid.

    I am very sorry for the inconvenience and stress this has caused and I do hope that these new sleeves bring the situation to a satisfying close.
    Take care,
    Simon

    I believe Musictoday was the US retailer as that's who I had to email.

    So are the replacement covers for Sad Wings and British Steel listing the tracks as they are on the Cd which is not the proper order? In better words they've mot really their own f-up just adjusted covers to suit....what shonky behaviour.

  19. That just about sums up everything that has been wrong with their management this last 20 odd years.
    What a PR disaster!!!!
    Sell a overpriced boxset with multiple errors and then advertise, you can buy replacement sleeves for £50 if you can't accept the errors on the originals.

    I didn't even take the post about the charge seriously until I checked - that's absolutely ridiculous.

    Are they charging £50, or is the price set to £50 so that no-one who doesn’t have the box buys them, and the those that have the box have been emailed a code to make them free…

    Does the band members know just how awful their management really is? Between this, the awful remasters and many other things they certainly have cost the band a LOT of money.
