Yeah, kinda surprised to see this first re-issue slip out unannounced - had understood all were going on sale Oct 20th.

Glad I follow this forum, and, on a another positive note, makes it less of a bunfight to snag one for those of us who do...

It doesn't bother me, makes a change to pay a few quid extra for shipping than getting gouged on eBay or Discogs by record store staff and flippers. £23 is a lot less than £50+! Thanks for this DW but it would be nice if you had given subbers a heads-up...

LITA has Halloween 2 listed as for sale, whereas the others are listed as pre-orders, so I guess they have the clear pressing in stock there.

I think I'm gonna grab Halloween 3 from DW and hope Spencer puts up the sleeves not too far afterwards. As cool as the new colors sound, I can't do it with the exchange rate seeing how I have all of these already. Glad he's gonna offer the sleeves, that's definitely taking care of your loyal customers!

[Whip Wilson]

With you there, DA. I'd love to add those sleeve/liner packages to the remastered and expanded Halloween III.

[Spun out of control]

Anyone any up-to-date info on the Deathwaltz re-press of Zombie Flesh Eaters... seems to have gone quiet on that score (forgive the pun!)

[The Cult Leader]

What exactly is new about these reissues besides the color of the vinyl? Are these now housed in gatefold jackets?

[Spun out of control]

Pretty sure the Zombi 2 score has been remastered by Frizzi himself and apart from new vinyl colour there will be other extras... But beyond that we are still awaiting info from DW central I believe... Including release date.

I received my copy of Halloween II last week, would have thought more people here had received it but haven't seen any comments. I have yet to open it as I have been busy and have other records ahead of it to listen to but it is not a gatefold. It does have an obi like the other new Death Waltz releases. Cat number is DW007R.

[jgibbs4053]

Was kinda hoping it was going to be like new textured albums

[deafmetal]

danwh1tepony, is that the deluxe color vinyl or the standard edition?

[Whip Wilson]

@danwh1tepoby - I'll be curious to hear what it looks and sound alike when you crack her open.

[Spun out of control]

Also ordered the Halloween II re-issue the day it went up, but haven't received it yet (am in the UK) - had assumed it would be a gatefold, but the latest description on the DW site doesn't mention it.

However the original DW mention on this thread did say:
"All will have gatefold sleeves and all new liner notes..."

Seems in actuality just the vinyl colour has changed? Guess we'll find out soon enough!

[danwh1tepony]

This is what it looks like, I never got the original so don't know if the packaging is different. The disc looks great though and sounds stunning.

[danwh1tepony]

And it is standard card, not the textured and not a gatefold. Still a nice package.

[Frizzle-Frizzi]

awesome vinyl color,poster is different mine(i have the sub) dont have this note wrote on.also the back cover is different if i remember well.
spencer please let us buy only the obi .looks cool on cover

[Alekspectre]

Great reissue artwork ! Even if i like the original issue.

[ghostfires]

That vinyl color - orange with black splatter - is identical to the Halloween release from Mondo.

[Alekspectre]

Yes,I thought the same thing, i am very interested by the Halloween III on black with orange splatter.

[Spun out of control]

Looking good... and yes, shades of Mondo (hmmm, I wonder why that might be??)

What happened to the gatefold and liner notes idea, then? Ah well, no worries... look forward to checking this one out in person.

[Alekspectre]

Halloween time will be hard for our pockets

[deafmetal]

Looks good to me, and I can live without a gatefold or a textured sleeve (I'm guessing that would raise the price of each of these a bit more). It does look like Halloween III will have the gatefold and liner notes, and it's listed two quid higher than the other reissues. I see Escape From New York on the back of that obi strip! Stoked.

[Whip Wilson]

Interesting. Perhaps only the remasters are getting additional liner notes and a gatefold sleeve?

[dahousen]

Love the Jay Shaw work on H3, but it would be awesome seeing diferent artwork on those remasters, Halloween 3 and Zombi 2. Extra score too?

[Darren LD1984]

Going on past posts by DW, Halloween 3 is expanded with newly discovered tracks, Zombie Flesh Eaters has been remastered by Frizzi himself. I don't know if it's going to have extra tracks.

Id love to see that Zombie Flesh Eaters poster pop up somewhere, but all the original artwork is killer. I wouldn't like to see that changing

[Whip Wilson]

According to LITA, Prince of Darkness and They Live are getting 4 and 8 page booklets, respectively. No mention of gatefolds. Halloween 3 seems to be the only one getting that treatment at the moment.
