Editorial Reviews
Digitally remastered, remixed and retooled edition of the metal band's 1985 debut album. This is a remix of the entire record by Mark Lewis (Trivium, Devil Driver, Whitechapel) that restores previously unheard parts and performances and restores the album to Dave Mustaine's intended vision. The entire project has been remastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound, NYC. The track, "These Boots..." re-added to the record with vocals re-cut by Dave Mustaine. After the initial pressing, the song had to be removed from the record due to it's author, Lee Hazelwood's estate, not approving the original vocal and lyric changes. Includes a remastered version of Megadeth's "Skull Beneath The Skin" 1984 demo, including the song "Mechanix", a song Dave Mustaine penned for Metallica which appears on Metallica's album, Kill 'Em All as "The Four Horsemen". Features a new album cover featuring a fully executed sculpture of the iconic skull that has been lost over the many years since the albums initial release. Packaging includes flyers and band photos pulled from the archive of timeless metal moments from Megadeth's storied 35 year history. Liner Notes from Dave Mustaine delving into the stuggles during that time period as well as some of the surprising moments during the remixing sessions.

The live tracks sound really good, recordings from that time can be hit or miss, but I loved hearing them live. Lots of nostalgia here, but overall, even if you've never heard this record, pick up this version.
The record sounds great, no surface noise which sometimes happens with colored vinyl. This one sounds really warm.

Killing Is My Business and Business Is Good - The Final Kill, is exactly what I just said it is. It's a remix of the original track list, including These Boots. This track I believe was censored on previous releases due to legal reasons. The vocals have been re-recorded with the original Lee Hazlewood lyrics, I assume due to these legal reasons. With it is a selection of rough demo's and a good half hours worth of a live material, recorded throughout the world between 1986 and 1990.
The remix on Killing Is My Business and Business Is Good - The Final Kill is quite faithful to the original release. However, the bass and drums have been given a good kick up the bottom, with bass frequencies being given a nice tweak. The guitars sound a little more separated and have a little reverb added to them. The new tone of the album still has that classic '80s thrash metal sound, the kind you'll find with early Metallica, Exodus, Slayer etc. However, it no longer gives the impression of pots and pans in a shed with the guitars sounding like an old rusted electric turkey knife. Instead, it sounds like a proper well recorded heavy metal release. The attitude and ferocity is very much intact.
The new added clarity really shows how ahead the band were in terms of style. Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson have a nice jazz quality to their playing. It really separates this album from later Megadeth releases, which is a makes it interesting. It would have been incredible to hear what this lineup could have done had they stayed together. For example, the drums and overall rhythm on the opening track Last Rites/Loved To Death is just so unusual for a band of their time. They were great additions to the group and it's honestly a shame it ended the way it did.
Like all of the Megadeth remasters/remixes, this one is a little loud. It's a huge jump in volume from the original CD but doesn't sound too different from the later censored version. I have grown particularly fed up of having metal CDs cranked up so high. On this occasion, I will let it slip. Why? Because the improvements of the remix is makes this album absolutely worth having. To be fair, it isn't Death Magnetic loud. In fact, it sounds pretty good. But the music itself has been given such a great makeover that I just can't complain.
Casual fans of Megadeth might not like this album. It's a little more adventurous than the more popular releases. But as someone who loves Youthanasia and Risk simply because it's different, I really enjoy this record as it is you find it here. This is definitely down to the new remix as the songs were unlistenable on the original release. Die hard fans should have this in their collection. It's the must have version of the album, in my opinion and I couldn't recommend it more.
Pros: los temas en directo y de la demo que se añaden en el segundo vinilo
Contras:los comentarios a la edición del propio Mustaine donde entona un "mea culpa" en toda regla (años de excesos y resquemor contra ciertos jinetes del metal)
