Getting ready for the Beat concert next week in Atlanta!

Can't wait for the Portland, OR concert in a couple months! I listened to all three studio albums in anticipation.

Three of a perfect pair indeed.

 

[The Rang]

Franz Ferdinand -
You Could Have It So Much Better

Energetic, propulsive, catchy as hell. Bunch of great songs. The only thing holding it back is the noisy, crunchy, lo-fi sound. The “hi-rez” 16/48 on this DualDisc didn’t help. But a good listen nonetheless.

Sly and the Family Stone Stand! Gold

Interesting! I liked "Under the Milky Way" when it was released, but for some reason never bought this CD. Probably because I was replacing so many of my vinyl albums with CDs, so my funds were used for those. I listened to this for the first time about 3 weeks ago. Really wished I would have bought it back in the day. But, thankfully, I'm still around to have discovered it all these years later.

these young men were on fire on this album !! And 50 plus years later they are still at it !!!

Metalwood - Twenty

Sixth studio album (2016) from this Vancouver based jazz group, their first after a 13 year hiatus. Great music and, other than the cymbals, good sound.

For all you CD Cats & Chicks out there, Springsteen arrives tomorrow.

Also for you 7" collectors, this is a must.

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The U.S.A." A miraculous original project in Japan releasing a set of four discs, consisting of the original album with 2014 remastering and three bonus discs.

The bonus CDs contain 29 live tracks from the full live performance at the NJ Giants Stadium on August 22, 1985, a few months after his first show in Japan. The setlist is close to that of the April 1985 show in Japan, and although it has been available on DL and CDR in the "Live Bruce Springsteen" Official Live Archive Series, this is the first time in the world that it has been officially released on CD.

Features 7-inch cardboard sleeve packaging with a photo book and a booklet with rare episodes regarding his first visit to Japan. Features the high-fidelity Blu-spec CD2 format.

Born in the USA 40th - Bruce Springsteen Japan-only 4 BS2CD
Original album + 3 CD Giants Stadium 8/22/1985

Donna Summer - Bad Girls

Relentlessly catchy, song after song. To do that over a double album is impressive. Sounds good too for a 45 year old recording,
