I am jazzed about this one!!!

 

Mud,

Guess what? In the Gort lounge today while you were out checking out Dry Pork Creek, I heard that Ed is going to get us this new release as our part of 'December is buy a Gort a Christmas present month' - pretty eh?

ED has the money, that's for sure.

THANKS ED!!!!!!!!!

The November ICE gives this a November 25th release date. I am really looking forward to this disc!

 

You've added "This Empty Place" - no complaints here.

Did you find the stereo master for "Goodbye My Love"?

 

Steve, thanks so much for going to bat for This Empty Place and finding the stereo master of Goodbye My Love. This is truly an outstanding track list and it now has 17 tunes instead of 16. Please pass along my thanks to the folks at Audio Fidelity.

Yeah, we're all psyched now. I'm sure this will be the definitive collection sonically, and will blow away all the stuff we have - probably even the vinyl. Can't wait.

 

never read this thread, this one should stay open!

 

That disc is so good.

 

I'm curious as to why there was so little discussion after release as it's an excellent disc.

 

Was just reading this thread and liked a post. Was finally good to read that the stereo master of Ain't Gonna Kiss Ya is MIA, that's probably why the stereo mix that's appeared on CD's is a completely different take.

 

why not each version in stereo and mono

 

One of my most played SACDs. RIP, Audio Fidelity!

 

Because when there is something to complain about, people are vocal. But when it satisfies, people can't really find much to discuss. Happens all the time.

 

Fabulous disc, no doubt. Was there a reason Bumble Bee (charted at 21 in the USA) was not included?

 

Yep, Steve's discs are just that good. Once you have them playing on your system, why would you want to interrupt the experience by posting on an internet forum?

 

If there was one song I wish was included, it would be the rare stereo mix of 'Saturday Night Out' (even though it's an alternate take). I'm still kicking myself over not picking up a copy of The Searchers Smash Hits Vol.2 Marble Arch LP with that on it because it wasn't in the best condition (I did get volume 1 though, which is in good nick and has my go to version of the stereo 'Farmer John' without any tape defects or dropouts).
