No bonus tracks on this one, but the seller assured me the discs were mint as could be.

 

Depends...Is it the USA version with the bonus tracks on disc 2?

You did great either way IMHO Sam.

 

Sam, great price!



mud-

 

Can't wait! I don't have any version of this one, so I'm new to maybe 1/2 the tracks

 

Congrats, Sam.

 

Sam:
I know you have been looking for this one for a while. Hope it meets your expectations. I think it will
Enjoy!
Cheers-
Norm

 

Steve:
I am going downstairs right now to try this. I hope the Totems are up to the task
Stay tuned

Well, as advertised "Deserted Cities..." really shakes the beaks on the Totems. That guitar solo is way up in the mix. Still they were up to the task. I can't remember the last time I listened to that album; the next time will be very soon. Gonna spin the live side next. It's amazing.
Thanks Steve!

Here's the one I won a couple weeks ago. Got last week and it's truly great!

eBay auction I won!

I emailed the seller to ask if it had the 3 hidden bonus tracks on disc 1. She didn't get back to me before auction end, so I took a chance and placed my bid. After I won it, she finally replied and said she just checked and it DID have the bonus tracks!!!

Disc 1 is slightly beat up but plays perfectly. Disc 2 is immaculate and all the inserts were perfect. Even still in original shrinkwrap opened at one end!

And yes, Deserted Cities Of The Heart is a mindblower! Heard stuff on there I never heard. Went back to the box set and WOW: Night & Day difference.

Thanks SH!

 

Cool

Can't wait to get ahold of this one.

Sure hope the B&W's will handle Deserted Cities Of The Heart

Note to self: make sure girlfriend is out of the house before trying this..

 

Boy I'm sure i got hold of this one, with the extra tracks!

 

Ha! Are you sure that Tom Port hasn't stolen your password and taken over your account?

 

Interesting tidbits, Steve. You guys are making the wait for this unbearable

Uh oh. I can hear the eBay prices going up now!

 

I picked up a used copy cheap! The only flaw is a gouge taken out of the slipcase. Mine doesn't have the bonus tracks - but I don't care - don't need em!

 

Boy, am I glad I got mine (with bonus tracks) when I did. Great CD!!! My favorite Cream title.

 

Speaking of "Spoonful", can anyone tell me what the heck Jack's singing? I cannot figure out the lyrics...



"?" fast food made of coffee...

"?" fast food made of gold...

Huh???

 

Is there any way to tell if a sealed copy has the bonus tracks? I've seen this one around for $45.00.

Thanks!

Spoonful (Willie Dixon) Hoochie Coochie Music (BMI) admin. by Bug Music Inc.

They might fill spoons full of diamonds
Might fill spoons full of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Satisfy my soul

People you're a-liein' about it
Goin' around and cryin about it
Everything's a-liein' about it
Everything's a-fightin' about it
A little old spoonful, spoonful, spoonful

Might fill spoons full of coffee
Fill spoons full of tea
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Good enough for me

You're a-liein' about
Goin' round cryin'
Fightin' and diein' about a spoon
Everything is a-liein' about it
Spoonful, spoonful, spoonful

Might fill spoons full of water
Save them from the desert sands
Was a little spoon of lead from my .45
Saved you from another man

People you're a-liein'
Goin' 'round and cryin
Everything's a-liein'
Everything's a-fightin' about
A little old spoonful, spoonful, spoonful


Play the blues!

I love Steve's work on this album. Isn't this the one that got McCartney's notice which helped DCC get to do his solo stuff?

If memory serves me correctly. The US pressing (with hidden tracks) seems to have the 24K Gold sticker on the shrink. I went through several copies (my sickness) until I found the correct pressing. I still have a sealed Japanese version (bonus tracks or not, still a killer). If anyone's interested I'd be willing to sell it....

 

If there are any users in Berlin, Germany - there's a sealed copy of this in the World Of Music behind the Swissotel on the Ku'damm...(or, at least, there was the last two times I went there, the last being a few months back). Look in the Box Set section!

 

Thanks Norm! I printed them out and will follow along next time I listen.

Man, but I was wayyyy off.

Not quite as bad as my wife though...with her rendition of AC/DC's "Dirty Knees, Done Dirt Cheap".
