Listening now to this stereo/mono CD - Volume 2

[marpow]

The very kind moderators, especially @Quad Linda where kind enough to acknowledge my request and suggested this very simple answer.

The first CD thread I started with Robbie Robertson. I have so many artists that I love and many are recent since 2014 when I joined QQ. This time I start with my heart, my desert island bands. I grew up and listened in heavy rotation to The Marshall Tucker Band and Ten Years After. I remember when CD's started being released in the early 80's my favorite groups seemed to take forever to be released as a CD.
The first MTB being in 1988 and the first TYA in 1988.
I would go to the local Best Buy and scour the new CD releases, with the large rectangle boxes they were in.
Being a member of QQ I learned for the most part those original CD's of many bands were the best to listen to. Remastered with extra tracks, Live versions, etc, where overly compressed. So on some of my favorites I have gone to Discogs and sought out original CD's they sound great and they are usually inexpensive.
Welcome to CD Volume 2, I look forward to all your posts.

Well, as I was cleaning my stack of 2024 music, I came across one that I did not listen to and forgot about. Believe it or not I do listen to everything I purchase, all of it, live, extras, etc, quite a chore but I do it.
This one slipped by.
Bruce Springsteen-Japan 7" cardboard BSCD 2. Born In The USA 40th Stereo. Released 9/25/2024.
I popped into the Luxie and lets see how far I get. I didn't see the red disc, probably in the big 7".

I wonder if he had dressed up as a cat.....could have been a bad career move.....

Ultravox- Lament

The Ultravox box sets are great. In addition to the Steven Wilson remixes of the main album this one has a bunch of really good remixes along with live material. The black on black packaging is beautiful.

Upon hearing that one of the Quatro sisters played with Fanny, I became interested in the group. Back in 1971 there was so much great music that the hit "Charity Ball" was just an also ran to me. Picking up this box set from Cherry Red, WOW if I had known that these girls really rock I would have picked up these albums years ago. Mothers Pride is the weakest album IMHO. Patti Quatro doesn't play on any of those first four but plays guitar on "Rock and Roll Survivors". I added that disc to complete the set!

Another Discogs purchase of three discs. Purchased from a South Korean seller "Jools & Brian" was manufactured in Canada and was still sealed with the South Korean price tag. The other disc is a US release on One Way Records. I first became aware of Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity when I purchase a lot of 45's that had been a prize from Toronto radio station CKFH. "Road To Cairo" and "This Wheel's On Fire" were two of them. That has led me to seek out more of them on vinyl and CD.

"Survival" is a Japanese release, I purchased it to replace my brickwalled copy. This 1993 release (TOCP-7620) is a DR12 the other one is only DR7!
