Very nice.
I’ll take the plunge…again

Nice song, not the best mix but it gets better in the latter part. Ordered.
Yeah, definitely a poor reaction on his part. This is why it's important to have calm social media habits and customer service teams. I imagine he browsed Twitter a little too much and needs to log off, honestly. I'm in no way affiliated with SDE, but I'm sorry that happened to you.I asked about it for PSB mentioning it would be easier to swallow the shipping costs if we could order a couple titles at the same time, Paul told me on X they’d never do that and then chastised me lumping me in with a blanket statement about people always having something to bitch about. I’ve spent several hundred Canadian on the SDE series and twice have saved money on windows of titles overlapping including ordering Suede with Dylan and another time ordering Eno with Shakespeares Sister, seems odd to treat good customers that way. I posted my order history to show I’ve been supporting the series for a long time (with order numbers scratched out) and he blocked me. I didn’t curse or insult him. Unusual behaviour. Nevertheless I’m compelled to order Keane and notice that Wham is still available so I could have saved shipping costs there, but the window was advertised as closing back in Feb. I am not rolling in money, just ordering two titles together saves almost CDN$10.
Same here. I’ve never heard of them before. They seem to be popular outside of the US. This might be the one that breaks the streak for me.Really?!
I have never heard them
That's really not how to treat loyal or even prospective customers. Paul should know better than that.I posted my order history to show I’ve been supporting the series for a long time (with order numbers scratched out) and he blocked me.
I haven't heard anything about new stereo mixes being made. I talk about dynamics and whatnot in this earlier post, but I haven't compared EQing or anything. The mastering will likely be the same as the upcoming set remaster, which will likely be rather loud.Playing the SACD now for only the 2nd time. Though there are some clunkers IMO, in general I like it more than that first spin years ago.
Has it been determined if the 2 channel mix is new or rehash of a previous mastering, and if the latter, which one.
If the stereo presentation on Bluray improves on this SACD then I might go for it.
Oof... To me, the U.S. track listing is pretty much a perfect album: all killer, no filler. I don't think any subsequent Keane album has topped it. I love the juxtaposition of happy music with bleak lyrics.Though there are some clunkers IMO...
From one extreme to another, as I’ve never heard of Keane or know who they are.Honestly, I don't know how many US folks know this album very well. I stumbled upon it, by chance. It was early 2005 and I had taken my oldest son to the local Mall, he wanted to go to Abercrombie/Fitch to look at some shorts. I was in the back with him, and a song was playing across their speaker system and it stopped me in my tracks. For me, it was a style I'd never heard and I was instantly dying to know what it was. I went and asked an employee what was playing, they went back and checked....it was Keane, Everybody's Changing. I was hooked....went to Best Buy and actually found it and I've been a huge fan since.
I’ve reached out to Paul and SDE multiple times requesting the numbered slipcover to the Soft Cell release and… crickets. Your experience seems to reinforce that customer service doesn’t appear to be Paul’s forte.I asked about it for PSB mentioning it would be easier to swallow the shipping costs if we could order a couple titles at the same time, Paul told me on X they’d never do that and then chastised me lumping me in with a blanket statement about people always having something to bitch about.

This should be up my alley based on your description, since I am a huge fan of The Smiths…Oof... To me, the U.S. track listing is pretty much a perfect album: all killer, no filler. I don't think any subsequent Keane album has topped it. I love the juxtaposition of happy music with bleak lyrics.
