Great music, but pick different CD

"This is a great album, and sounds pretty good, but I like the original CD from 1990 better. The drums sound fuller. The snare is in your face, unlike the one on this new gold CD. Buy the original for under $10 and save your money. You will not be sorry.





Edit: The gold does sound good, but I just like the 1990 better. You may like the gold instead. Don't let me keep you from buying it. Many people like it better than the original US that I like."

Worthless. Absolutely Worthless.

"I just received my copy of Audio Fidelity's 24KT Gold version of Machine Head. What a huge disappointment.

What a waste of almost $30.

The double 25th Anniversary CD mixed by Roger Glover is vastly superior to this release in every single category. Sleeve, pictures, info, etc.

And the sound is so much better than this gold thing it's not even funny.

I bet that if at this moment I had a way of playing the original vinyl LP I got in 1976, it would sound better too.



What a waste of money. What a joke.



Stay away from this one, people. Get the 25th Anniversary double CD instead, you won't regret it."

Try it out for yourself

"I think the sound quality and separation of this remaster is outstanding. Crank it up; Paice's drumming sounds amazing. Much better than the remixed 25th anniversary edition in my opinion."
