MÖTLEY CRÜE – DR. FEELGOOD (35TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE BOX SET)









Dr. Feelgood has been reissued and remastered several times, 1999 on Mötley Records with demos etc., 2003, 2009 20th anniversary with live songs, and a European two disc set with live tracks not included here for the box set. This 35th anniversary set (CD and vinyl also individually available) includes both the previously released demos and live songs (but not the Euro ones), a 24 page booklet, a reimagined poster of the album artwork, replica backstage pass, patch, guitar pick, tour itinerary, and a couple more items.

On to the music, I compared the previous remaster of the album, and to the original CD when it was first issued in 1989, on a stereo system with big speakers. There is a difference, the original CD still sounds fine; Bob Rock always brought a big massive crunchy punchy mix and production to hard rock and heavy metal, i.e.; Metallica's Black Album. Instantly, with the opening title track the difference is noticeable, with this 2024 BMG remaster, the bottom end and bass is a bit overpowering, but doesn't lose the drums and cymbal crashes. Other than that, the remaster is bright and not muddy or muffled. The live tracks appear to have been taken from the previously released Live Entertainment Or Death and sound fine.
