wow. new mastering. wow. not sure what tangent they were on when they made this album. Its different - and I applaud them for thinking outside the box and experimenting. Its nice U2Alt and I enjoy it

 

[cbmmm3]

I have Always enjoyed Rod Stewart, The Faces, etc. And Ive never owned this album --until now. Was not sure what to expect. What an absolute killer album !!!
Love the pleasant audio surprise.

Yes, Boys and Girls EVERYWHERE, it's that time of the year when all the Christmas Paraphernalia is dug out of the Attic, basement or garage including beloved Christmas Music and little pigtailed girls are busy baking ornamental cookies for Santa's 'down the chimney' visit!

Canned Heat - Boogie With Canned Heat

Always avoided this band because I didn’t like the creepy vocals on “On the Road Again”. But now that I’ve tried them out I know what I was missing.
Boogie is an apt description. And the sound Iconoclassic (i.e Vic Anesini) has wrung from this is really good

Joni Mitchell Archives Volume II [Rhino/5 RBCDs] What a gorgeous tribute to Joni. 5 superbly remastered RBCDs in a stunning clamshell case with a 35 page high quality glossy booklet. Disc 5 contains Joni's classic RIVER from the BLUE Sessions with lovely French Horns and URGE FOR GOING with strings. And ALL this for $30 from Deep Discount. Highest Recommendation.

List Price, BTW is $65

Trio Music - Chick Corea, Miroslav Vitous & Roy Haynes
Holiday - Earth, Wind & Fire
Jewel Box CD 6 & 7 B sides '76 - '05
Moonlight, Mistletoe and You - Keb' Mo

A Winter's Garden - Loreena McKennitt CD EP
CSNY 1974 CD 1 also bought the BD set
Canned Heat Christmas Album 3 archival tracks w/Bob Hite & Alan Wilson Eric Clapton. Dr. John & the Chipmunks guest

cbmmmmmmmm3, When MTV played music, I saw a show on highlighting new acts. Ben & Tracy impressed me and I ran out and bought a UK LP of EBTG Eden. I've since bought it on UK CD (autographed when I met them), US LP EBTG s/t, and UK 2 CD expanded. ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL!

Rang:
Popeye sat on the shelf sealed for 4 years since 2 CD released. I kept promising to play it at a time when Joe could listen. He bought LP back in the day. Here and there, I review what I haven't played. Waited too long. Harry's voice on the Demos sounds better than it had in years.

Qlinda - thats awesome about EBTG. I missed out many years ago seeing them in concert. Another Coulda Shoulda moment in my life !!! Ugh

Eva Cassidy LIVE AT BLUES ALLEY [Blix Street Records/Remastered RBCD] Tragically, Eva Marie Cassidy passed away at age 33 from Cancer but left behind a brief but wonderful legacy and her self financed LIVE AT BLUES ALLEY set is a stellar example of her unique/heartfelt interpretations of Jazz and popular standards. Highest Recommendation. The voice of an angel was silenced way too soon!

Finally cracked the Climax Blues Band -The Albums 1973-1976 set after almost a year in the pile.

Starting with FM/Live
Decent performance from what I can tell. The sound is typical 70’s live album, not hi-fi by any stretch of the imagination but listenable.

Saw them live lots of times, a perennial series of gigs often around the same time as Lindisfarne did their Winter ones (which were brilliant as well).

I’ve been listening to some of these (cds and vinyl) today. My son is the guitarist in all four. A greatest hits 92-18, lol. Notice the tape of the Sunday afternoon Hostile Environment gig at CBGB’s. Chatted with Hilly while they were on stage. Cool dude!
Chris’s latest efforts can be found on YouTube as Dimension1.

That’s good to hear, I saw something on Facebook about another Visage release.
He seems to go through periods of discouragement followed by a flurry of releases.
