    There's a southern accent, where I come from
    The young 'uns call it country
    The Yankees call it dumb
    I got my own way of talkin'
    But everything is done, with a southern accent
    Where I come from

    I agree that it was a great expansion and remaster on what was already
    a fine double lp. A lot of fans were surprised with the generosity of material
    when it came out, got great reviews for it too.

    My favorite Petty song. Such a catchy rocker and the riff is awesome. And the epic guitars!

    Errands happen. I'll be going out to do some myself very soon. But what CD to bring for in-car listening? Hmm...

    That's a good one. For me, I'm a sucker for the chiming Rickenbackers on "Listen to Her Heart".

    Okay, so Tom is playing a Vox teardrop guitar here instead of a Ricky, but it's still plenty chimey:

    Petty and Campbell had great taste in guitars and knew how to get the right sound!

    Special stereo edition. It sounds bleeding great.
    A masterpiece.

    Just make sure you don't get the edited reissue with 2 mins of the stellar The Bomber cut out....

    Or maybe the edit was only on their 2LP Greatest Hits...

    Anyway absolute classic from 1970...

    I have always looked at the album as heavily influenced by Abbey Road hence the difference in the music on both sides

    Lover of the Bayou might be the most badass song the Byrds ever put down. Not that there are a lot of contenders, as that wasn’t really their thing. Anyway, I’d forgotten how great this song is (listening to the excellent alternate take on Disc 2 now).

    A fun late light listen on phones, and it works really well on them.

    Over the past couple of evenings, the wife and I have been catching up on the PBS series SoundBreaking from 2016 about the evolution of sound recording. Really well done and interesting overall, lots of footage and information I haven't known about before, as well as interesting takes on the more well trodden. Lots of big name talking heads, such as Nile Rodgers, Roger Waters, Roger Daltrey and non-Rodger/Rogers such as Glyn Johns and Mickey Hart, among many, many others. Lots of the usual suspects, but then somewhat surprising but intelligently chosen detours, like a segment on Devo. Highly recommended for anyone who missed it. We TiVo'd it back when it came out, watched the first episode, but then forgot to get to the rest until now. The final episode has a segment on the GD taping scene, supposedly, but the GD have come up a few times in the other episodes.

    Great choice, especially if your errands include driving past the Stop 'n' Shop.

    I can't deny that my mind may have been subliminally thinking, "Roadrunner is a great song to play in the car. In fact, it's the best place to play it."

    Yes, as long as you embrace the contradiction that you can't listen to your Modern Lovers CD with the radio on.

    Some good info, I will look for that on possible recast. As I was running
    out of gas last night I looked to PBS for Austin City Limits-- no dice. We
    don't get the wonderful from what I hear AXS channel, so my music car
    ran aground unfortunately. Speaking of the evolution of sound engineering,
    I'm listening to what I think is probably the best digital sound of the Burritos.
    It is a compilation that came out in 1988 called Farther Along. I don't care
    for the album cover so here's a another illustration of the FBB...

    Outtakes and alternate takes. Why was "Pass The Wine (Sophia Loren)" left off the album :confused:. It's surprisingly good.

    In general, a good disc, but some of the 2010 vocal overdubs just don't work.

    "Prince 20Ten European Summer Tour Vol 2"

    Excellent audience recording with a killer, mostly upbeat, setlist that just rocks.

    ... having compared the overlapping tracks with ...


    Even on the Discman (with cheap headphones, and alternately with Bose Companion speakers), the differences are very noticeable. The new 2018 CD remasters sound crisper, clearer, better separation and detail, across the lows, mids, and highs .. whether due to care of transfer, better source tape, or both/other ~ there is clearly improved dynamic range and clarity .. and all this with my humble ears, thank heaven.

    This is not to say the 2003 Motown Chronicles compilation isn't excellent SQ-wise .. it is ! The Elemenal reissue engineer(s) was/were nevertheless able to improve on them, which leads me to believe they used a better source tape. That is just a guess, as I have no info.

    Love Campbell’s riff in the intro and coda of that tune.

    I've got a fair amount of Byrds live: Live at Fillmore West, early '69; a boot called
    Go West, great soundboard, early 1970; and now playing from Untitled, New York
    early 1970, Queens College in late February, to be exact. Which all adds up to over
    4 hours of prime live Byrds (for me) to enjoy.

    So upon revisiting my rip of the Green 25th Ann. Ed. CDs, and some research here, I've downloaded the HDTracks ver. of the 25th Ann. Ed. not because I like hi-rez (I really, really, really don't) but because unlike the 25th CDs, the HDTracks version is not loud or "hot" at all. It's mastered normally. Plus, and I was unaware of this until I went to HDTracks, their version contains five more songs from the live show included with the 25th CDs. These five tracks were originally available in only the download version of the Green 25th from the R.E.M. web site/store.

    In conclusion, buy the HDTracks version of the Green 25th, if you're in the market for it. I'm keeping the 24/96 in my library (not sure why), but I used XLD to make a "normal" to me 16/44.1 version. I'll probably delete my CD rip, and keep the physical box for historical purposes?

    Now I'm listening to the expanded, and I assume complete, live show. It's been a Green weekend.

    I'm cool with my OG LP of Green. For those that don't spin vinyl though, it sounds like the HD is a better choice than the remaster CD. The live bonus stuff is pretty amazing, I'd imagine.
