CD Reviews"The table is set for three..." Huntsmęńus | New Orleans, La | 12/08/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have to admit I was rather reluctant to purchase this re-release of Abigail. I already had the LP and the first CD issue. I missed out on the Remastered ones and the double sets Roadrunner has released. But the inclusion of a bonus DVD got the better of my control. But I'm glad I got it. First, the CD sounds great, it doesn't sound like there was any tampering done to the original recordings. Second, the booklet that was included is chock-filled with quotes from the bandmembers from 1987, relating their memories of all aspects of Abigail. And third, I didn't have those rehearsal tracks, nor had I heard them before. I was expecting a little more for King Diamond/Mercyful Fate's first "official musical" release on DVD. But, getting a peep off a bootleg tape from the Abigail tour in Sweden, 1987, is better than I expected. King's vocals are much better here than the Abigail Live release('91, '92?). Plus, having all three of the band's videos is a great addition, too. More than just a re-release." KING-SIZED BLAST FROM THE PAST Kevin Dobbs "dragonboots" | Perth Western Australia | 11/08/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Whilst many debate which is the better seller or indeed better album between 'Abigail' and 'Them' you really can't deduct any stars because this is such a nice package and an essential buy for any King Diamond fan. You get the remastered version of the epic saga 'Abigail' which is clear as a bell, (a church bell at midnight)and in fantastic packaging. There is an enclosed booklet that takes various comments from the band that made this classic release come to life way back then, and their memories of each other's contributions. The other thing that makes this worth the dollars is the DVD. Despite being of pirate quality which adds to the underground feel of the eighties before MTV and the like, it is a great collection of songs live in Europe on the Abigail tour. If that is not enough then the official videos for 'The Family Ghost', 'Sleepless Nights' which is fantastic and 'Welcome Home' certainly will please.The only odd thing is how hairband King's band looks around him, somewhat out of step for the kind of music and atmosphere being portrayed. Don't delay in buying this whilst you can and lets hope there is more live video footage sitting in the vaults." Abigail! R. Lord | Salem Ma | 09/30/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This cd is just amazing by itself, but now it comes with a dvd! A live performance from Gothenburg Sweden 1987 is included, plus... the music videos for "The Family Ghost", "Welcome Home", and "Sleepless Nights".
The dvd quality is not the best, but it's still worth a watch, if your a king diamond fan. Everyone should go out and get this one!" |
