[REQS] DESOLATION ANGELS - S _T (P) 1986 U.K.

I found an English copy of this masterpiece, on a local store in Athens, at only 55 Euros , but sadly, I couldn't afford to buy it!
Can any, metalhead, upload a wave vinyl rip, because the rip that's circulated on the net sounds really bad and the Feels Like Thunder box-set includes only two songs from the original album?

been just reissued by BBTAD together with the 7'', so it's commercially available. support the band and buy the album.

I would like to have the original stuff, the 1st English press.I don't know if this reissue + 7'', from BBTAD is from the original master tapes, or it was ''taken'' from a vinyl copy?I've seen the photos from the covers, in some sites that are selling the reissue, and it's not so good as the original.If the result on the cover isn't good enough, for me of course, what about the sound, the music that really matters?

[Prince Hector]

The reissue from BBTAD is nothing but a crappy copy of the original, my friend STRAPPADO!It is almost 2 minutes less music, than the British original!Fuck the bloody bastards, that are trying to make money on the dead body of NWOBHM!Death to false merchants!!!
P.S. Now I've made the wave rip, from the vinyl reissue, from BBTAD and compare it with the rip that is circulating on the net and the bootleg CD from Greece, I blame myself, I wrote on a previous post, good words about these crooks!!!

It is almost 2 minutes less music, than the British original!

I also have the BBTAD reissue - the intro to both 'Spirit of the Deep' and 'Death Machine' have been cut. It is a long album and I would guess that the reason they have been cut is to keep the playing length down to improve the sound quality and to keep it to two sides of vinyl. It may annoy the purists, but if it means better sound quality perhaps it is worth losing the intros. I read on the BBTAD facebook page that they will also be releasing this on CD so it will be interesting to see if the intros are included on the CD version.

I've been looking for a better version of this myself, as the vinyl correction software I use (3 different programs) cannot handle how scratchy this is... HOPEFULLY the CD version will be remastered and ALL vinyl noise taken out (unlike the last company that reissued Black Hole's "Land Of Mystery..."

I have a version of this with almost flawless sound quality but in mp3 320 format only. Amazing how much better it sounds than all the other ones I've heard on the web.

If anyone's still interesting - (pm me) - I've got a fine quality lossless vinyl rip of the original (almost not scatchy at all). The first song in every side isn't cut off - I compare it with the 2017 30th Anniversary Ltd Ed. reissue & the 1998 unofficial Greek bootleg.
