Damn, I can see my money evaporating before my eyes. Dokkens are a must have, and as a big '70s proto metal fan, I am very stoked that they're looking in that direction. A lot of those old gems weren't done as well as they could have been by Repertoire.

King's X????? Holy shit!

Explain Rock Candy...is there ever any extra stuff on them?

It depends, but whenever possible they throw on some bonus tracks. The main attraction is that they do a fantastic job with remastering and their booklets are incredible.

I just saw that email. I guess I'm heading there next.

Rock Candy is two old metal columnists from the UK.

Basically, they do all their licensing via the major labels (a few exceptions thrown in) so they aren't able to add bonus tracks unless they are the major labels bonus tracks to begin with.

But like Justin said it all about their booklets, essays and new mastering. Sometimes the new mastering isn't the greatest I will admit. For the most part it's top notch. I have come across some disappointing ones more recently.

Well, I know in the case of King's X, that there is at least an acoustic version of "Shot Of Love" recorded back then...hopefully that'll be included.

About damn time the Dokken cat. is being done. Maybe the 'Back in the Streets' material will be included.
Now need the Dios.
Still it is a little nerve racking having most of these calbums already.
That Witness is really good.

Back On The Streets will not be included unless it was released on Elektra like the other albums. If not, I doubt Don will give it up to Rock Candy to reissue.
