Sodom: Get what you deserve (Boxset) [6 Vinyl LP]

Damen und Herren, please welcome the 'XXXIII' limited edition collector's vinyl box set, genuinely a project 30 years in the making... <br/> <br/>Happy Anniversary, Rammstein!<br/> <br/>'XXXIII' sees Rammstein delving back through their extensive archive to create the definitive vinyl collection of their officially issued singles, running from 'Du Riechst So Gut' (first available August 1995) right through to 'Adieu' (November 2022), the final single / video from 'Zeit'.<br/> <br/>In order to achieve the best possible sound, the individual 7"s - 33 in total - will be pressed onto black vinyl; if there was a special radio or promo edit made, then this will be the version used, the idea being to keep all aspects as true to the Rammstein story, this extraordinary twisted fairytale, as possible. Hence, every B-side chosen will relate to the original release, and all of the picture sleeves will carry the artwork of the time, with longstanding collaborator Dirk Rudolph - the designer behind some of the band's most well-known visuals, including the famed logo - brought in to oversee the presentation.

Grace Under Pressure, Rush's tenth studio album, was originally released in April 1984, and it features some key sonic-template modifications resulting from the band's decision to further evolve its sound by enlisting a new producer after a successful decade of working with Terry Brown behind the board. The eight songs comprising Grace Under Pressure build from where September 1982's Signals left off by fully embracing the tech and temper of the times while still remaining true to the band's knack for blending progressive roots with radio-welcome song arrangements. Grace Under Pressure was co-produced by Rush with Peter Henderson and engineered by Paul Northfield with assistance from Frank Opolko and Robert Di Giola. It was the fourth in a series of Rush recording sessions ultimately held at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec. Rush's instinctive recording process at Le Studio had been DNA-infused during sessions held there for the aforementioned Signals, in addition to February 1981's Moving Pictures and January 1980's Permanent Waves.<br/> <br/>"...our songwriting had taken us to a different musical place, says Geddy Lee, "an expansion of our soundscape with a range of new technologies, not just keyboards and samples, but electronic drums too, while getting to know the new dude behind the console with a very different working style."<br/> <br/>"Distant Early Warning," the lead-off track on Grace Under Pressure, announces the clear directional shift. "Afterimage" is a heartfelt reflection on the unexpected passing of someone close to the band that leads right into the confines of "Red Sector A," a chilling tale of incarceration, intimidation, and uncertainty. Side A closes out with the inner-reflective "The Enemy Within," subtitled "Part One of Fear." (The "Fear" trilogy was presented in reverse order, with Part Two, "The Weapon," appearing on Signals, and Part Three, "Witch Hunt," debuting on Moving Pictures.)<br/> <br/>Side B commences with the humanoid escape drama that is "The Body Electric," while "Kid Gloves" acts as stay-tough sequel of sorts to the sound of its Signals antecedent "The Analog Kid," and the skittery "Red Lenses" captures mile-a-minute thoughts of anxiety, all propelled by a loping low-end riff. The album closes with the widening gyre of "Between The Wheels," a track that became a latter-day concert favorite during Rush's final R40 tour.<br/><br/>The limited-edition version of the Super Deluxe Edition includes four CDs, one Blu-ray, and a 52-page hardcover book. CD1 features the album's original 1984 stereo mix newly remastered from the original analog stereo master tapes by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios. Although Grace Under Pressure was the first Rush studio album not produced by Terry Brown after a decade long healthy working relationship, CD2 now features Brown's brand-new stereo mix of the album, as created from the original studio album's analog multitracks. To get the ball rolling, Brown reached out directly to surviving bandmembers Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee. Regarding his involvement, Brown confirmed that he "suggested it to Alex and Ged by saying to them, 'Let me do a couple of tunes. If you love it, we can move forward.' As it turned out, they did love it." Brown's goals for his remix were quite pure. "I had to give the guys something they would be excited about," the producer continued, "so I went for a little more detail, different reverbs, and a larger footprint, all while maintaining the integrity of the original record." <br/> <br/>CD3 and CD4 present the first-ever complete setlist of the show Rush performed on September 21, 1984, at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, which was also newly mixed from the original multitrack audio masters and has now been retitled Grace Under Pressure Tour: Live in Toronto 1984. <br/> <br/>The Blu-ray features the above concert on video newly edited & newly remastered in HD with the audio soundtrack offered in 48kHz/24-bit Dolby Atmos, 96kHz/24-bit Dolby TrueHD 5.1, and 96kHz/24-bit PCM stereo options, all newly mixed by Terry Brown. Its previous incarnation as 1986's Grace Under Pressure Tour concert home video and CD was somewhat incomplete, and this new full concert experience features 37 minutes of unreleased performances. <br/> <br/>Also on the Blu-ray, the full 1984 studio album is newly mixed in 48kHz/24-bit Dolby Atmos and 96kHz/24-bit Dolby TrueHD 5.1 by longtime band associate, producer/engineer Richard Chycki, from the original album's multitracks along with the newly remastered 192kHz/24-bit and 96kHz/24-bit PCM stereo. Observed Chycki, "Listening to Grace Under Pressure in Atmos, you can really hear Rush's progress and development as artists, because there's much more room in the 360-degree soundfield to express it. Things that may have just gone by you in stereo now appear in separate speakers without being gimmicky. Instead, they act as micro-features for the Atmos listener to better appreciate the band's intent."<br/> <br/>Additionally, on the Blu-ray, Terry Brown's new album remix is presented in 96kHz/24-bit PCM stereo, along with the band's music videos for "Distant Early Warning," "Afterimage," "The Enemy Within," and "The Body Electric," all of which have been visually remastered in HD and presented in 96kHz/24-bit Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and 48kHz/24-bit PCM stereo. ("The Enemy Within" was the very first music video shown by Canadian TV channel MuchMusic, now known as Fuse, on August 31, 1984.)<br/> <br/>The Super Deluxe Edition of Grace Under Pressure will also include new liner notes penned by Geddy Lee, reflecting on his memories of finding a new producer for the album and reminiscing on a recent re-listen of the album proper. Original album designer Hugh Syme re-imagines the original album cover along with creating brand-new illustrations for each of the album's eight songs and other related visual elements in the book. Exclusive bonus collectibles in the box include a custom acrylic Grace Under Pressure LED light-up display; a replica of the Grace Under Pressure tour book; a replica Maple Leaf Gardens/Toronto show concert ticket; a Grace Under Pressure Tour total access backstage pass; "Pressure Release" a replica of the 6-page press release; three bandmember live photo lithos; and a poster from the Toronto show. All contents are housed in a premium lift-top box.<br/> <br/>The second Grace Under Pressure configuration will be released in is a five-LP plus Blu-ray Super Deluxe Edition, which is the analog equivalent of the four-CD edition. The LPs in the Super Deluxe Edition have been cut at Abbey Road Studios and pressed on 180-gram audiophile black vinyl at GZ Media in the Czech Republic. <br/> <br/>Both the 4LP + Blu-ray and 5LP + Blu-ray Super Deluxe Editions will also be offered at the Rush Backstage online store with 3 exclusive bonus lithos of Hugh Syme's new illustrations.<br/> <br/>The third Grace Under Pressure configuration will be the Super Deluxe Digital Edition, which is the digital equivalent to the physical Super Deluxe Edition audio tracks. <br/> <br/>The fourth configuration, the Dolby Atmos Digital Edition, is the digital equivalent of Richard Chycki's Atmos mix of all eight tracks from the original 1984 album. <br/> <br/>Finally, the fifth configuration is the Grace Under Pressure Tour: Live in Toronto 1984 newly edited, mixed and visually remastered in HD concert video made available to video DSPs.<br/><br/>ABOUT RUSH<br/> <br/>Rush - bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist/vocalist Alex Lifeson, and the late, great drummer/lyricist Neil Peart - maintains a large and uniquely passionate worldwide fanbase that acknowledges and respects the band's singular, bold, and perpetually exploratory songcraft that combines sterling musicianship, complex compositions, and distinctive lyrical flair. Rush has sold more than 25 million albums in the U.S. alone, with worldwide sales estimated at 45 million (and counting), and has been awarded 24 Gold, 14 Platinum, and three Multi-Platinum album distinctions. Rush has received seven Grammy nominations, and the band was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.

The limited-edition set includes reproductions of the first 18 7" vinyl singles and extended play records by "The World's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band," as originally released by Decca and London Records. The tracks are all remastered by 12-time Grammy Award-winning engineer Bob Ludwig. The set, complete with period-correct picture sleeve art, will also come with a 32-page book with extensive liner notes by Stones authority Nigel Williamson, as well as rare photos and ephemera plus a set of five photo cards and a poster, all housed in a hard-shell box. A companion second vinyl box set in the series, The Rolling Stones Singles 1966-1971, will be released next year. <br/> <br/>Before they were thought of as one of the rock era's quintessential album bands, the Rolling Stones began their recording career in 1963 with a slew of singles that captured the energy and excitement created by the classic lineup of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman. Their version of Chuck Berry's "Come On" backed with a cover of Muddy Waters' "I Want To Be Loved" kicked it all off, and was quickly followed up with "I Wanna Be Your Man," a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney for the Stones to use, before being recorded by The Beatles themselves. London Records, their US label, quickly withdrew the single on "moral grounds" due to the illicit implications of the B-side "Stoned" (credited to Nanker Phelge - the songwriting pseudonym for the entire band). None of the songs from these first two singles appeared on any of their albums.<br/> <br/>The Rolling Stones Singles 1963-1966 follows the group's shift away from covers in favor of originals, due in large part to Jagger and Richards developing into one of the most accomplished powerhouse songwriting duos of their generation. Of the nine US Top 40 hits contained within the set, all but one are Jagger/Richards compositions. These include "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "Get Off Of My Cloud," which were number one hits on both sides of the Atlantic. This collection includes the US and UK versions of both these singles, which feature different sleeve art and B-sides. The sole Top 40 cover is "Time Is On My Side," (written by Jerry Ragovoy and notably recorded by Irma Thomas). The single in this collection is the lesser-known version which features an organ intro. Another rarity that never made it onto an album in any form is "Sad Day," the US B-side of the 1966 hit "19th Nervous Breakdown." <br/> <br/>Three extended-play (E.P.) 7" records are included in The Rolling Stones Singles 1963-1966, all of which were originally UK-only releases. These are The Rolling Stones (not to be confused with the album of the same name) and Five by Five (recorded at Chicago's famed Chess Studio at 2120 South Michigan Avenue), both released in 1964, as well as 1965's Got Live If You Want It! - the first of many live records by a band that to this very day is known as an explosive concert attraction.
