Community Q&A

How does the 2018 remaster compare to the original?
Most agree it's a significant improvement with more clarity and punch, though some mention inconsistent pressing.
Is the hologram version worth it?
The hologram is a useless gimmick, but the 2LP set sounds good if you don't mind the 3-sided format.

Compared To

vs Original 1987 pressing

2018 remaster offers clearer sound and better dynamic range, but some prefer the raw feel of the original.

Source Threads

  • 2018 remaster vs original pressing: clearer highs and better bass response

    The 2018 remaster is way clearer, the highs are more defined and the bass is punchier. My original pressing sounds muddier in comparison. But I've heard some copies have popping and crackling, so it's a gamble.

  • Fantano subreddit considers Appetite a classic, remaster well-received

    Even with the controversy around the band, this album is undeniably a classic. The 2018 remaster breathes new life into these tracks, makes them sound more powerful than ever.

  • Hologram edition criticized as gimmicky, but vinyl sounds decent

    The hologram is a joke, I don't know why they wasted a whole side for this. The vinyl itself sounds good—nice separation and no surface noise on my copy—but I'd rather have a proper 4-side 45rpm cut.

  • Album rating thread: discussion of reissue quality

    Gave the album a 10/10 obviously, but the 2018 reissue deserves a review on its own. I have the 2LP version and it's the best this album has ever sounded. Only thing missing is 'One in a Million' which they left off for obvious reasons.

  • Vinyl release news: 2018 reissue availability

    The black 2LP 2018 remaster is still widely available and often on sale. It's become the go-to version for new collectors alongside the super deluxe box.

  • Super Deluxe Edition praised for bonus content despite missing track

    The super deluxe box set is incredible—the Sound City demos are pristine, and the book is well put together. Worth it for hardcore fans even though they omitted 'One in a Million'. The 2LP audiophile pressing in the box is stellar.
