The 30th Anniversary Edition is far and away the best version of DSOTM ever released in both the analog and the digital realms. (I sure it would not surprise anyone to hear me say I like the LP better  8) ). Absolutely blows the doors of off of then new "Why Pink Floyd" series version which is all compressed to appease the ipod crowd. Although I do have to say that the SACD and vinyl versions of Wish You Were Here are quite good. I got the copy from the library of The Wall  CD that was release back in Sept as part of the box set of all the Pink Floyd albums and it displays the same type of over compressed sound as the DSOTM CD from the same series. Supposedly the LP release due out in Spt is being sourced directly from the analog master tapes and it will be more cleanly mastered and not follow the DSOTM LP. [-o<

The Troggs ~ Athens Andover

         CD


Athens Andover is a collaborative album between The Troggs and what was then three-quarters of R.E.M. Released in March 1992, the name of the album is derived from the hometowns of the two bands: Andover, Hampshire in England and Athens, Georgia in the United States.

Thanks for the info on the new remasters! I was considering getting a few of them as the reviews on Amazon seem to indicate excellent sonics, but I know that they are likely not audio folk writing most of those reviews. I guess I'll save my $$ ;)

Packing bag to Bitch's Brew, hi-bit rate rip on my Zune.

Too bad I don't smoke hash anymore, this might be the album to go with it.

Had to take Song X off after 1 side, free jazz not my cup of tea.

If I want something that I don't get I'll listen to Bitches Brew. In fact, since it's the start of a new month, lets;

Miles Davis: Bitches Brew (180g) 2LP
Miles Davis (Artist) | Format: Vinyl
