I'm pretty sure this is a re-recorded version as well. The original studio version sounds a lot rawer, and somewhat more organic. This sounds more.....polished. And if you have the Special Edition Re-Release of "Melissa", listen to the Tony Wilson produced tracks from the "Radio 1 Friday Night Rock Show".....they sound even MORE raw and earthy!
I remember finding this album at Moby Disc in Van Nuys in the promotional copy bin, thought the cover was super cool...played it for my friends John "Gumby" Goodwin, and Darwin "Starwin" Ballard after Thanksgiving dinner 1983, we were so blown away with how heavy and new it sounded, knew we were listening to the dawn of a new era of Metal...they finally came to the Country Club in Feb '85, best show ever...sounds so beautiful 28 years later...and a sweet new remaster DLuna...
Had this on LP in the 1980s..may still have it..A euro friend claimed he'd been to King Diamond's apartment in Denmark..had a large, wicked alter inside, he says..
@Ywce07 you nailed it the lead is different at 3:14 In fact thats probably why it seems a little less..The original at that point had the tone in those notes to die for,.at least for me.
gotterscar; I couldn't agree more! I also got to see GHOST on Sunday.......
