£33.99 – Limited Edition Remastered x 2 180g LP
Remastered. Use Your Illusion II finds Axl Rose howling at the editors of Spin, Kerrang, and Hit Parader magazines on the rollicking “Get in the Ring,” and addresses the inherent pitfalls of fame on Izzy Stradlin’s scathing “Pretty Tied Up (the Perils of Rock n’ Roll Decadence)”. Elsewhere, they tackle an old Dylan nugget (“Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”), and tracks cut for charity and soundtracks (“Civil War,” “You Could be Mine”), and an underrated masterpiece about heartbreak that manages to emote both indignation and sorrow without sounding pathetic (“Estranged”).
2LP – Remastered for the first-time ever from high-resolution 96kHz 24-bit transfers from the original stereo 1/2-inch analog master tapes. Includes 2x 180-gram heavy-weight audiophile black vinyl in gatefold jacket with a 12″x12″ insert.
