5.0 out of 5 stars great stuff!, March 6, 2009

i purchased the original version of this album in 1981 when it was first released and i think it's one of the most under appreciated records ever!

at the time, i heard that michael schenker was dissatified with the production by ron nevison but i never understood that...i thought and still do think it has a great sound to it!

if anything, the remaster sounds a little brighter but overall i think it sounds the same...great!!!

my real attraction to this though are the extra live songs and the outtake of the great, "never trust a stranger", without guitar. gary barden's voice cracks a little but he sounds excellent, as well as paul raymond, (piano), and cozy powell, (drums).

i saw them in concert on this tour and they played all these songs live. they're faster and played with great energy.

i'm not into buying every remaster or reissue that is released but this is certainly worth picking up if you're a schenker fan!

4.0 out of 5 stars Killer follow up; questionable remaster; unbelieveable bonus live songs, June 13, 2009

A great follow up to a masterpiece of a debut album a year earlier. This album is just as good as the first. However the remaster seems a bit weak. Sonically this does not jump out of my speakers unless the volume is higher (especially that of the recently remastered debut). However all that doesn't seem to matter as soon as the 6 bonus live tracks come on. Any fan of the One Night in Budakon your jaws will drop when you hear how on fire and intense this band is just touring their debut album. Pick this up.
