Christine Perfect Japan Import CD

macfan 57 · #1 12-06-2005, 09:44 AM

I ordered the new Christine Perfect re-issue from CD Universe & it just arrived in my mail box yesterday. I now have 4 copies of this album...lol. This new remastered CD is a BIG upgrade in sound quality over the original CD that was released in 1993. It's very noticeable. Also, the insert includes the song lyrics in both English & Japanese. It looks like this will be a very nice collector's item in a few years when the album goes out of print again. Has anybody else gotten their copy yet?

Mary Anne, please describe in as much detail as possible the sound quality, as compared with the quality on the old import CD. I'm thinking of getting this.

I'm not an audiophile expert, but the new remastered CD is more clear & much louder. I would compare it to the Mirage CD. Whenever, I play my Mirage CD, I have to turn up the volume on my CD player to even hear it decently. It's almost like a bootleg recording, even though it's a commercially released CD. It's the same with the old Christine Perfect CD from 1993. I noticed the difference with the new CD instantly. David, I think it's worth getting just for the improved sound.

Mine was dispatched on November 30. So maybe I have it in my mailbox when I get home! I can't wait to hear those songs remastered, especially "No Road is the Right Road."

Sounds class. I must get that album! I might get this issue now, if you think it's that much better. I like Japanese!

I just ordered one. David come over with some kishka and we'll listen to it in my living room.

Thanks for the update, Mary Anne.
This is definitely going on the Christmas List.

You didn't mention any, so I'm assuming there aren't... but are there any bonus tracks?

Hey, mine came last night! It sounds great. Does anyone know Japanese to translate the liner notes?

I thought of the same thing. That 1993 CD had very interesting liner notes written by Mike Vernon. I wish I could read Japanese. I'll be shocked if anyone here speaks Japanese...lol.

Isn't it "DownonRodeo" that lives in Japan? Maybe he could translate.

Hmm...I thought he was from Australia. I'm not sure if he ever checks out the Chris forum. I'm not even sure if he still checks out the Ledge like he used to do.

He's still on here every once in awhile. I hope I'm not confusing his name with another. He's got a photoblog link, which has some great pics of Japan. Yep, I checked. It's him. Now watch him not speak Japanese!
It's not against the rules to post his ID, since it's off this site, right?
