Are there Metallica Remasters?
I have been listening to the AC/DC remasters and was curiuos if they ever did a Metallica remastering of their older albums.

Best sounding versions of Master of Puppets and Ride The Lightning are the DCC gold discs (unfortunately now OOP) mastered by Mr. Golden Ears, Steve Hoffman. Don't expect any subsequent remasters to sound any better than these discs.

I've already upgraded all of my records and cassettes to CD. Lars does not need any more of my money. (and he complains about fans stealing music when you have to buy the same album 2 or 3 times)

It would be nice to hear the bass guitar on the older albums, especially ...And Justice For All. The only times Cliff Burton (yeah I know he wasn't on that album) cut through the mix was if his bass had the distortion/wah effect on it and/or he was soloing. Other than that, it was the Lars and James show, with Kirk popping up for the solo.

It's because of the confluence of DCC collectors and Metallica collectors. Keep your eyes open though, not everybody knows what they've got, and a couple of months ago a seller had them up, $25 BIN each.

The first 4 albums have been remasterd since 1994. If It has a Platinum Plus sticker, then that's it... also If not sure, just check inside the booklet, if it mentions the METALLICA club, then that's it.

if you can get your hands on the gold discs, its really amazing. the Cliff factor jumps way up, when I first heard these I nearly shit myself!
the black album DVD-audio is also fantastic, it was like hearing these tracks for the first time.

Damn, I guess I should have grabbed those gold discs when I saw them for sale in stores. I was kind of sceptical about whether they really sounded better though, so I never bought them.

In fact, Hoffman and DCC label head have teamed up to do another series of gold redbook CDs for artists where the labels won't license the titles out for SACD: http://audiofidelity.net/
