Toshiba/EMI "Black Triangle" CD Listing

I don't think it's been mentioned here, so was surprised to see that CP32-5399, Heart - 'Bad Animals' is a Black Triangle.

 

So did you win that auction today?

 

No, I actually had it bookmarked but forgot about it, and never placed a bid.
$25. was more than i wanted to bid, though.

 

Maybe Nightgort Dave can confirm. but I didn't think it was.

 

I have all of the Iron Maiden Black Triangles except for Powerslave. I've never seen that title, although it is on the Black Triangle master list.

Can anyone confirm / deny?

 

Arron is correct, the Heart: Bad Animals is not a black triangle, but the Heart: S/T catalog #CP32-5078 is and no other version even comes close in sound quality IMO.

 

Calling this seller a liar? I'm not saying they aren't.

I have the Powerslave Black Triangle.

 

I guess I don't know. There isn't a picture of it and Dave owns it and his doesn't. Mebbe there are two versions of it. I believe this is the case The Rolling Stones Undercover CP35-3087.

 

Of course you do! Hence your subtitle!

 

Are the catalog numbers listed always going to be discs with the black triangle design on them? In other words, did later non-black triangles of the same title use these same catalog numbers???

 

I think this only may have happened with one or possibly two titles Rolling Stones Undercover and Heart Bad Animals.
Normally they issued it as a new catalog number
Ex. John Coltrane - Blue Trane CP35-3088 Black Triangle. It was issued aprox 2-3 years later with catalog number CP32-5231 Silver or White and Blue design (not a triangle).

 

Just recieved Heart Bad Animals CP32-5399. Seller confirmed it was a black triangle, but it is not. Is there in fact a black triangle of this title? If so, it this non-black triangle the same mastering? CP32-5399 1B1 TO matrix....

 

No one has given proof that one exists yet. Sorry the seller didn't give you correct info.

 

Ask the seller for a partial refund.

 

How did you word your question to the seller? I never ask leading questions. For example, rather than asking, "Does your Heart Bad Animals CD have a large black triangle on the label side?", I would simply ask, "Could you please describe the design on the label side of the Heart Bad Animals disc?" I don't want to provide unnecessary information that could either cause confusion or influence the seller's answer. That's just me.

 

Bump....

 

Can anyone provide a review on the sound of the "Meddle" disc.

 

Sounds flat, but the MFSL UD1 is the way to go as it betters this one by a lot.

 

Thanks Dave, I have the UD1. I also have the JPN Black Face which is identical to the US CAP, and it sounds good also. The remaster is craptastic to me...nothin new there. My question is this (obviously they are two separate recordings), are the mastering choices/sonics on the BT Meddle similar to the BT DSOTM? This disc has eluded me forever!

Sorry for the kinda threadcrap.

 

No, it does not have the breath of life like the non-TO version of DSOTM.

 

Sorry for asking here as I can see this thread is very old. But I can't find any topic dedicated to Kim Carnes on cd. I have one or maybe two simple questions. I was looking for Kim Carnes - Mistake Identity CP35-3018 black triangle pressing but now I see that there is also CP21-6067 issue from Pastmasters series. So here comes the first question:

Are these pressing identical in terms of peak levels (mastering)?! If someone could post the peak levels for both I would be very grateful. I remember that Kate Bush - The Kick Inside on Pastmasters shares the mastering of CP35 disc.

Is this mastering featuring Pre-Emphasis? We all know which two catalogue numbers predates this CP35-3018 pressing...and they both using it. So maybe same scenario here?

 

Just to update before I answer... Turns out Aaron was correct. There are both a Black Triangle and a non-Triangle CP32 for Heart Bad Animals and the correct Pink Floyd Meddle trounced my old MFSL UD.

honzator, The CP21 "might have" the same peak levels, but it sounds no where as good as the CP35 to me having heard and compared both.

 

Ok so I guess you don't have them right now for peak levels posting but I appreciate your answer and opinion. BTW did you tried any cdr to find out if it is Pre-emphasized in comparison with original silver disc?

 

Sorry, I only have the CP35-3018 and it "might" have pre-emphasis though I'm not sure having only done straight listening comparisons to arrive at my conclusion.
