I was just a year too late getting my record player & missed out on some limited edition vinyl...... I did buy the sandblasted southern trendkill a month or 2 ago but didnt notice until i got home that they cut a song and the outro to another from the album. That really bummed me out. The album sounds AMAZING and my GF and i could hear guitar parts we never heard on the cd. We've both listened to this album countless times so we know when we hear new stuff.

[@BillyHurst]

Yeah, that was a bummer that they excluded those tracks from Trendkill. I guess in order to keep costs down and make it fit on 1 LP they had no other choice.

[@big_burly_bro]

Thanks for the in depth look. I was curious after the last video.

[@BillyHurst]

Yeah man, I was very impressed with these.

[@punisher18102]

FYI most of these album originally only had 1 disk . So they're keeping it like it original did which is a good sign . Double lps usually mean added digital BS ( for reissues etc ) plus its from ATCO not Rhino

[@Vinyl20]

Really want to get that Cowboys from a hell one! Great video and thanks for sharing!

[@carvinblack]

Since this was limited they should have done the original Far Beyond Driven Art or was that just done in Australia? I have a Australian CD box set with that art.

[@dominicchetta1463]

Great video mate… I’m going to get a few due to your review 👍🏻

[@nebulavortex3531]

So im going to the record store today and i want to buy some metallica and pantera albums do u recommend that i buy them on vinyl or cd

[@BillyHurst]

I would buy vinyl, but buy whatever makes your ears and your soul happy. Have fun!

[@brutalmorality5885]

Sweet I have the box set coming that has the shirt and hat. Great review..

[@BillyHurst]

Enjoy! They really are nice.

[@KevinWinchell]

Thanks Billy!!!!

[@BillyHurst]

Thank you for the purchase. Enjoy!

[@vbathory3757]

Okay so i just bought all 5 of these thanks to this video....

[@nps1016]

I have the Vulgar Display Of Power vinyl, I too was a little concerned about how it will sound on a single vinyl record but it’s one of the best I’ve bought since collecting records last year. I was so impressed that recently ordered Cowboys From Hell and I may get the other three as well, thanks for the review.

[@BillyHurst]

You’re welcome! Enjoy!!

[@adamhunt4462]

Thanks for the review! How do these sound compared to the 2xlp version that was out earlier this year?

[@BillyHurst]

Honestly, very little difference at all. Like I said, the only thing that jumped out to me was “Cowboys” was cut at a slightly lower volume.

[@kever8789]

Just ordered from discogs... Seriously stoked to get these! Cheers.

[@BillyHurst]

Thank you and enjoy!!

[@hashman3171]

Waiting for my preorder..seriously stoked..

[@BillyHurst]

Enjoy them. They are awesome!

[@iangoodisDMX]

Wow

[@markkopernicky3489]

Hey Billy. .great video...I believe the pressing plant they used in France was MPO...they did the Judas Priest reissues and those were really well done. Of course the reason the volume is quieter then normal is because of the length of the album...in order the make a good sounding cut...they had to make smaller grooves to fit it all. .otherwise it would have to be 2 LP's. ..or they could squeeze it with bigger groove cuts but it would sound like shit. Take care. ..hope all is well. Mark Anthony K Projekt Gemineye

[@BillyHurst]

Mark, thanks for stopping in and for the in-depth comment. That definitely clears it up and makes perfect sense. I guess I never associated volume with the width and depth of the grooves, but I should have.

[@gfeast4518]

Any recommendations on places to buy these still, just got all of them except far beyond driven at my local shop so I’d like to get it

[@BillyHurst]

I might have one copy of Far Beyond left in stock. I can check tomorrow and let you know.

[@BillyHurst]

I do have one copy left, and we ship worldwide. Let me know if you’re interested. Thanks.

[@gfeast4518]

@@BillyHurst hey man, sorry, I called my local shop and they ended up having a couple extra in the back, thank you so much for looking out for me I really appreciate it! 🤘

[@BillyHurst]

@@gfeast4518 that’s no problem at all. Enjoy!!

[@gfeast4518]

@@BillyHurst thanks! I see what you said, they are a bit quiet which sucks for me because I have a basic intro setup, but some records are really loud like the metallica vinyl club singles 😂

[@oscar542241]

Is the rhino edition of CFH Better than this colored version?

[@BillyHurst]

Yes, the 2 Lp edition is hands down the best sounding. This one is just a cool, limited edition colored vinyl

[@Herestravy420]

Yes.. If you can find rhino copies go for it and skip these!

[@dillygdrums256]

I bought Vulgar from my local record store today, they had all of them except for Reinventing. The only one I will not get is Trendkill since it is missing Suicide Note Pt. I. I'll just get the 2LP version.

[@BluddieJuggalo]

Same! I did notice that too.

[@metalcoffie]

Remember that one is missing the outro solo on Floods. To date there's never been a complete version on Trendkill on vinyl.

[@dillygdrums256]

@@metalcoffie yeah idk, I might just get both copies

[@xero1xr]

Cowboys cd was always low volume too. I guess it was just mastered that way

[@BillyHurst]

Yes, and these are more than likely digitally sourced.

[@donfurcio4080]

I'm about to buy "great southern trendkill"... what about the sound quality of that one?

[@BillyHurst]

It’s actually pretty darn good. It’s missing “Suicide Note pt. 1” though.

[@donfurcio4080]

@@BillyHurst good to know that

[@colesrecordvault8131]

Just curious, where does it say these are numbered? I know discogs says they are numbered. Is there somewhere on the jacket? Thanks

[@BillyHurst]

The Revolver exclusives have an OBI strip with a hand written number on it. It’s the only difference. These are not numbered.

[@colesrecordvault8131]

I see, thanks. I ordered all 5 of these and they sound and look awesome! Never really listened to Pantera till now besides their hits. super stoked about these

[@metal-adventures-joerg]

Are those released in the US only,or in Europe also?

[@BillyHurst]

I'm not sure if these are US only release or not. Sorry.

[@matthewleeduering0730]

When did these come out?

[@BillyHurst]

They officially release this Friday, April 23.

[@lucillechilds9767]

Are these digital recordings?

[@BillyHurst]

I’m not 100% sure, but I would have to assume they are digitally sourced, as it would state analog source on a hype sticker or something.

[@iangoodisDMX]

Reinventing the steel though

[@BillyHurst]

I know LOL

[@carvinblack]

I still have my OG pressings that I bought back in the day. 🤘

@@BillyHurst 🤯

[@iangoodisDMX]

@@carvinblack awesome! I started buying new releases on vinyl around 2003. But I have gotten my fair share of original pressings I havent bought of course.

[@bvdaussiemetalhead9338]

Cool reissues. My concern with mostly white vinyl is that it’s more susceptible to warping. Something to do with the lack of carbon in white vinyl which apparently makes for slightly weaker vinyl. ( so I have read) I have noticed this first hand with some previous purchases so I now avoid white or mostly white vinyl. Shipping the white vinyl over long distances is obviously a major factor for warping issues also as you can’t control the temperature that they are stored in.

[@BillyHurst]

Interesting. I hadn’t heard that, but will definitely look into it. My biggest concern was the sound quality being crammed onto one LP instead of two. I was very impressed though. Thanks for stopping by buddy and hope you are well. Billy-

[@tysonsuver7521]

Just ordered vulgar. Thanks for the video

[@BillyHurst]

Thanks for the order. Shipping today.

[@colonelhstinkmeaner8547]

Should have been 2 LPs

[@williambinns218]

I know Pantera doesn't have the greatest album covers but reinventing the steel has a terrible one, also far beyond driven always made me think of a heavy metal unicorn

[@BillyHurst]

Yeah, the cover for Reinventing the Steel is terrible LOL Now I will say, the diamond plate steel cover they did on the 20th anniversary pressing is awesome!

[@williambinns218]

@@BillyHurst I need to look that one up,
