Creeping Death
Original 1984 Megaforce (0:00)
2016 Remastered (6:38)

A side-by-side comparison of the original 1984 vinyl released on Megaforce Records versus the 2016 Deluxe Remastered vinyl released on Blackened Recordings.

Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Turntable connected by USB to Audacity Recording Software. Recorded to WAV. No audio processing used.

Video and photos taken using Canon PowerShot S95 camera. Video editing done using Sony Vegas 10.

The Megaforce release here is numbered MRI 769 with Silver label. There are MANY typos on this particular release including Kirk Hammett's name misspelled, "For Whom The Bells Toll" printed on back cover as well as "Fight Fire" printed on label. This also has the "Metal Militia Membership" card that only came with the first 1,500 copies!

The new Ride The Lightning is from the Deluxe Remastered Box Set. There were 30,000 copies of this released and this one is #3,425!

The new Remastered edition definitely sounds fuller and louder even after compression from the recording, video editing, and youtube upload.

These LP's are from my personal collection. Go buy the Remastered vinyl or CD at your nearest record store!
