Did some search and it´s a recordlabel from Poland which is behind these re-releases. Ordered my copies.
Actually I already had one Metalmind re-release in my collection: Motörhead: Bastards (on digipack töö)

Interesting how the bio was lifted (but totally re-worded) directly from Wikipedia :-)

I bet (I hope) these are official. This Metalmind seems to be a quit big company so I dont think they do some illegal stuff…

Hm, interesting…but on the other hand: In my humble opinion these 2 albums don’t need any remastering at all as I love their sound. I am still more curious about remastered songs of the early Therapy? days…but…did you say DIGIPACK———> :-) :-)

I dont see a point either that HA and NANE got reamastered but if you are a collector of T? stuff you try to get em all;) You can ask An, Alan, Darren…well the list is endless:D

The only thing that makes these interesting to me is that they’re limited to 1000 copies each, so the collector in me is slightly tempted.
But as others have said, those two albums hardly needed remastering, the sound quality is already perfectly crisp and clear (and distorted where it should be ;-))
If they’d compiled the b-sides and other unreleased tracks onto a bonus 2nd CD then I might have got them, but I’m not going to bother for essentially the same thing I already have in a different case, even if they are limited.
And I’d agree Nurse should be remastered, I always thought it didn’t even have as good production as Babyteeth. I think Nurse is a great album, all the songs are excellent on it, but it really lacks any power and a good remaster job could fix that.
OCFA doesn’t need any remastering in my opinion. I think the fuzzy quality works quite well with those songs and helps give it a different sound (yet again) to other T? albums.

My thoughts too.
Pointless reissue, too soon after the original releases, with negligable extra content but slightly fancy packaging…did T? sign to Roadrunner or something?!

i think people are misinterpreting these releases. theres alot of companies that specalise in releasing albums for an ‘audophile’ audience who own expensive equipment. these seem to be one of them type of results ie using gold cds and the description was talking about sample and bit rates not something you’d go on about for your average bog standard release even not for a typical ‘remaster’

Fair comment, but putting the albums of gold discs with little or no input from the band/ producer isn’t going to get my vote.
Whilst we’re on the subject of audiophiles, it gets my goat these folk who show off their latest flashy iPod dock and boast of the sound quality and how much it cost them. If you want HiFi quality, use a HiFi, not a fucking iPod!
That’s not to say I don’t love my iPod as if it were my own offspring, of course.

you’d sell 1000 of each just in the pre-sale alone.
CDs are dead anyway, this just makes no sense.

Audiophiles are mad. They can’t actually hear the negligible improved sound quality, they just think they can because they spent so much money on their set-up.

Plenty of people probably think Nurse could use a remastering. Andy himself has said the sound’s a little thin. And considering how many of the songs were re-recorded later, I don’t think it’s that far fetched to think T? weren’t that happy with how it sounded. (Although myself, I don’t prefer most of those re-recordings to the originals, with the exception of Neck Freak).

Both HA and NANE have awesome quality as far as I am concerned, so I do not understand the point of remastered versions. Beside the cardboard packaging is there any other extra here?
Agree with the calls to have Nurse and OCFA remastered - pretty much the only two T? albums where I wasn’t happy with the quality… (still like ‘em though!)

I’d say Nurse and Pleasure Death could both do with remastering. Strangely they had weaker production than Babyteeth, which actually has a good sound, especially for an album which I presume was made on a pretty small budget.

I think I’d agree with Epitome - keep having to turn the volume up for PD and Nurse songs then down again for pretty much anything released after Nurse. Same prob, although to a lesser extent, with Babyteeth.
Does the Teethgrinder single suffer from the same problem?

Audiophile rock fans?? Surely the better quality you get the further away from the vibe of the album you get too? Audio geekery is good for producers and dance music fans but i like my rock n roll raw and loud, not sonically perfect!
Although if Nurse were to be remastered (hint hint!!) im sure i would buy it,, esp if it had bonus extras and perhaps a making of (hint hint again!)

I think you can make a rock album sound punchier and brighter and therefore more rock n roll in some cases through remastering, but you’re right that sometimes you can polish the life out of a record.

If anything, High Anxiety already sounded a bit too polished, so if anything, a re-master should grunge things up a notch rather than making things even clearer :-)

I would be very interested in hearing a dirty version of HA, or at least more on par with Semi-Detached.
This can probably be interpreted badly, but it would be interesting to hear some of the tracks re-recorded with the three-piece lineup in a similar way that those Nurse songs were redone for the Troublegum-era singles and the others for Lonely, Cryin’, Only. If It Kills Me sounded fantastic live at the Monto shows last week, I could really hear the bass in the song rather than a wall of guitar.
