My CD player is an old Sony bluray player using the optical line out or whatever its called to the amplifier. Its supposed to be better than RCAs but honestly as I'm an ould fella who spent a fair few decades in noisy work environments it doesn't matter a damn

I want to replace my copies of Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction but all that's available is the cunting 2004 versions where Mustaine decided to butcher the original mixes.

Plus 1 on that - the snare sound on the new Countdown melts my head.  :eyeroll:

On vinyl? They just did a run of the OG Countdown and Youthanasia mixes, I got mine from Sentinel Records. They also did RIP last year but that might be harder to find by now.

"Battle vest"

Aside from how cringeworthy the phrase is in general, neither word is applicable.

This. Absolute spastics.

Cheers for that. I'm looking for CDs. I already have RIP on vinyl.

I know I could probably find the early mixes on Discogs but I just wanted to have a moan about the inconvenience of not being able to find them in Tower or Golden Discs.

Spindizzy/Freebird/Sound Cellar should have them

I forgot about Sound Cellar. Might wander in tomorrow and take a gander.
