These two releases basically make a set (just like they were re-released as 'A Real Live/Dead One' years later), yet their levels are quite different. While the first is still quite dynamic, this one has a really pushy and even unpleasant sound with the volume up. What's stranger is that it was even produced, mixed, engineered, and mastered by the same people, so I don't know what the reasoning behind this is. Maybe the feedback of the first was that it was "too weak" or maybe they were afraid it didn't sell enough because it wasn't loud enough. Whatever the reason, it's just absolutely strange, this difference between two very similar releases, and it shouldn't have happened. Heck, even some of Maiden's following releases weren't as loud. It makes no sense, and it's rather obscure. A courtesy of MicHaeL H. |
