Y&T – Earthquake The A&M Years 81-85; Open Fire [remastered] (2013)

As requested by many, here it it the complete box-set “Y&T – Earthquake The A&M Years 81-85”, a must have remastered pack from the most brilliant era of Dave Meniketti’s band.

At the very end of 2013 and almost unnoticed, there was a box-set release from one of the essential bands from the first half of the ’80s: Y&T, entitled “Earthquake: The A&M Years 1981-1985”.
You get 7 albums spread over 4 discs, a terrific collection with all the material Remastered for an exceptional value for money.

Yes, many would prefer every album in one single disc, but this way you have a glossy edition packaged in the old style ‘fat’ box, an extensive booklet in exceptional print quality with detailed info, and the most important; a superb sound remastered by Andy Pearce, all for less than 25 U$D it’s a steal.

“Open Fire” was the first live for Y&T. And what a killer record.
The live material was recorded at various locations earlier in the same year of release (1985) seeing Y&T at the peak of their popularity and solid, tight as band as never before.
The performances are top notch and the recording quality was amongst the best during the ’80s.

Well, this fresh 2013 remastering has turned out this “Open Fire” even better, adding more punch to it but isn’t overblown dynamically. It’s a remarkably clear recording considering it was originally made over 25 years ago, and every instrument and vocals come crystal clear out of the speakers.
You need to listen “Open Fire”, seriously, it’s a step ahead to many more famous records of this kind.

We Highly Recommend this awesome box “Earthquake: The A&M Years 1981-1985”, including 7 albums for the price of two, with a terrific remastering work and fantastic packaging.
