Good quality and value.

All good

Great album, great band!!!

Case came cracked, but other than that it’s amazing

These remasters - Illusion I and ii have been very well done. The music sounds as if it was recorded last week. Unlike a lot of remasters where the bass or keyboards or lead guitar have been over emphasised, I think these have been done very carefully to ensure balance. For me, who bought the albums on their release in '91 it's great that they have retained the power and punch that the original albums had. Only downside is the packaging. Whilst probably as good as the original albums, it would have been good to have some information on the making of the albums and the relationships between band members that drove this creativity. All we get is a bunch of phot's, and at my age I'm just not that kind of fanboy.

The alleged better of the two Illusion albums. Again the difference in sound is not as noticeable as I expected.

Got this back in the day and was well impressed. With my 63 year old ears, what was the fuss all about? An ok vocalist with a killer lead guitarist and impressive rhythm section, that's what. To these ears the new remaster adds nothing new, but takes nothing away either. Got this because I got the first volume cheap in a sale and just needed to complete the pair. The Appetite For Destruction remaster was a better buy IMHO.
