treeduck Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Does anyone have any of these 8 album box sets, like the Black Box or the Castle Records Replica CD collection? I have the Black Box. why? Yeah thats Gentle Giant on the inside cover. How is the sound quality, is it brick walled? Pretty good as far as I can tell, marked improvement over the poor Castle remasters.Is that the other black box, the replica CDs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Does anyone have any of these 8 album box sets, like the Black Box or the Castle Records Replica CD collection? I have the Black Box. why? Yeah thats Gentle Giant on the inside cover. How is the sound quality, is it brick walled? I have both the Sanctuary/Castle UK box and the US Black box. IMO the Black Box has a better mastering (and a nicer package for what matters). It is louder but even clearer.

That would be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it's definetely in mini LP papersleeve replicas, but I'm speaking of the one released in 2001 (the one I actually have); I don't honestly know about sometning maybe released lately.

I notice the 2001 version has a better score on prog archives than the black box. Edited September 28, 2015 by treeduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice the 2001 version has a better score on prog archives than the black box. Let me check when I'm at home in a couple of hours. For what I remember, being LP replicas, they are gatefold when the originals were gatefold (the first five albums but not Sabotage, TE and NSD). Stay tuned anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 OK, I confirm what said in my previous post: in the Castle box set all the 8 albums are mini LPs replica of the originals, with just the first 5 in gatefold sleeve as originally issued in the 70sDo not expect a great packaging anyway: the box is quite small, the additional booklet is just 16 pages of B/W photos and the mini LPs are far from being of the same quality you could expect from Japanese copies.
