beatles for sale

News is out that the entire Beatles back catalogue has been remastered and will released on 9 September. Apparently, the sound has really been cleared up and the question is whether its worth getting the brand new sparkling versions

Most of my Beatles stuff is on vinyl, so I guess I could use an upgrade. The question is, which ones? The box set is going to be around the $200 mark, and I don’t really care for the early stuff, so I guess I’ll just be getting the crucial ones.

Well, the white album is a given, as is revolver. I don’t think I’ll bother with sgt pepper, at least at this stage

If I was to buy a third, which do you reckon, rubber soul, or abbey road? My instincts tell me abbey road, but there is some good stuff on rubber soul

More importantly, when is the kinks back catalogue going to get the same treatment?

worth checking out

phil judd's new album, love is a moron. closer to the swingers than his split enz years. the track tha is earworming me is hanging by a thread

oh, and i'm still looking for the first schnell fenster album

rem

picked up a double cd plus dvd of rem's early years

they used to be good. certainly, they werer just coming to fruition when i went flatting and i had all of their albums. i was listening to fables of the recconsruction when i heard granddad had died

rem and the smiths. every time i hear them it brings back all sorts of memories, not all of them good

question of the day

channel surfig through the fm band this morning, i came across a radio station "for the over forties", coast fm. since i'm over 40 i listened for a while.

why is easy listening music so hard to listen to?

not so perfect

as i mentioned earlier, i picked up a copy of the the's soul mining over the weekend
i'd listened to it three times before i realised that it was song short
i'm sure that on the original vinyl there was a re-mixed version of the single, "perfect"
i feel ripped off
