Back to some "older" CD releases....and this one is a double CD extravaganza....the artists are some of the best ever...and like most of these older CDs...it's sounds fine...some killer combinations on here...I heard New York New York with Tony Bennett(who is 92 now) and Frank a few minutes ago and WOW....duets and duets II are the CD titles...

It definitely looks cool... I’ve got several Eddie figures already, though, and the DR numbers on the remasters are not great... I’d look for an early CD release (or a good vinyl rip).

I know what you mean about the new versions that are compressed and the low DR versions, but you know it's not always about the quality of sound, ;);). Besides this :smokin helps me forget.
Look here at the first 1982 CD vs the 2015 24bit download Number of the beast. Even for a non picky guy like me that is pretty fucking horrible.
 
Arrived today:
BMG & UNIVERSAL PRESENT CONFESSIN’ THE BLUES ORIGINAL BLUES MASTERPIECES HAND-PICKED AND CURATED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ROLLING STONES DONATION TO WILLIE DIXON’S BLUES HEAVEN FOUNDATION COVER ARTWORK BY RONNIE WOOD As well as being the biggest band in the world, The Rolling Stones are also the biggest champions of the blues, so who better to curate a compilation in collaboration with BMG and Universal, of the music that inspired them throughout their career? Confessin’ The Blues collects together the greatest bluesmen ever and provides a perfect education to the genre. The tracklisting on the various formats has been chosen by The Rolling Stones, in collaboration with BMG and Universal and will be released on BMG on 9 November. The Rolling Stones have long been supporters of the Blues from before the start of their career right through to their latest album, Blue & Lonesome which featured their interpretations of the classics, many of which appear in their original versions here on Confessin’ The Blues. Mick Jagger was an early fan of the Blues: “The first Muddy Waters album that was really popular was Muddy Waters at Newport, which was the first album I ever bought”. Keith Richards said, “If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.” As such big supporters of the genre, the band and BMG have decided that 10% of BMG’s net receipts* from the sale of this album (with a minimum of £0.65 (2CD) / £1.25 (2LP) / £3.00 (Bookpack) UK pounds sterling) will be donated to Willie Dixon’s Blues Heaven Foundation (Registered as a 501(c) (3) non-profit organisation in the United States.) Jacqueline Dixon, President/CEO of The Blues Heaven Foundation, said: ‘We are extremely honoured, grateful and humbled that Willie Dixon’s Blues Heaven Foundation has been included in such an astonishing project. It means so much that my father’s dream of creating an organisation that promotes, protects and preserves the Blues for future generations is being recognised and supported by artists that have achieved so much.’ Confessin’ The Blues includes tracks by the biggest Blues pioneers including Howlin’ Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Big Bill Broonzy and Robert Johnson. All of these artists had an impact on the nascent Rolling Stones, be they influencing Keith’s guitar licks or Mick’s vocals and lyrics. As Ronnie Wood says: “That’s how Mick and Keith first got close as well, on the train coming back from college. They noticed each other’s record collection and it was, “Hey, you’ve got Muddy Waters. You must be a good guy, let’s form a band”. Confessin’ The Blues will be available as a 2CD set, 2x2 Vinyl LP sets and a 5x10” Vinyl bookpack (mimicking the original 78RPM releases). All versions include liner notes by music journalist Colin Larkin and the bookpack contains removeable art card prints by noted blues illustrator Christoph Mueller. The album cover artwork comes courtesy of Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood who has added his own personal twist to the project by painting his interpretation of a Bluesman. Confessin’ The Blues is a real musical education from those who know the genre best, the greatest living band on the planet, The Rolling Stones.

Doesn't surprise me at all....in 5 years they will be playing at county fairs and assisted living facilities:LOL:...don't get me wrong...I love the Stones...in fact I loved them WAY before I got into the Beatles music...Keith Richards will turn 75 in couple of weeks and I can't believe the guy has lived this long....

I am a season ticket holder for the 49ers and anytime an event happens at Levi's Staduim we get first crack, better seats for the event. They go on sale for us tomorrow at 10:00. I think I'll get 6 tix, called the No Filter tour, I believe 19 American city's? I have seen them twice , I hate to admit that they are getting old and I like newer bands now or my favorite is the blues bands in the small clubs in SF. Next Friday I see Little Steveie Van Zant, SoulFire show at The Fillmore, that should be good.
 
Santa left a couple goodies:

Rumours deluxe - Fleetwood Mac 4 CD/1DVD/1 LP

This Was 50th Anniv. Ed.- Jethro Tull 3 CD/1 DVD-V

Did Santa leave anyone else any CD's or LP's?

We'd love to hear about any new surround (any format) or 2 ch SACD titles you've received or bought in their Appropriate Threads.
