Better than the recent reissues? Do I need an original UK press ;)

I don't have the recent reissue of Brotherhood. No need with vinyl sounding this good.

Based on original Rhino reissues of Movement, PC&L and Technique the Original pressings will sound tighter, better dynamics and more extended. The reissues are good

If you are happy with the reissues, keep listening to them.

Plenty of Cheap UK originals to pick up if you see one thou.

I'm currently listening to a playlist of EC's songs I've taken from all of his albums!

 

While I like him as an artist a 'lot', I can't help to have some reservations when a lot of his songs are covers, and a number of 'JJ Cale' covers!

 

It's just something that (for me) he doesn't quite enter into that 'greatness' that I feel he should? If that makes any sense?

I think he is great

He did enough in the 60's and 70's to earn the description

I don't think any or very few Rockne rollers from the 60's survived past the 70's with their reputations intact

If you assess the quality of someone's records by judging the worst ones no one would deserve the description great

Most of them including Clapton made records that have some great tracks on them but a lot of not so good stuff

A lot of his work are covers and tributes to people he admires and inspired his best records

That record I was listening to was 1 cd studio good plus but the live one is really good with good vocals and great guitar

Not sure but don't think he wrote the songs

Robbie Robertson - how to become a Clairvoyant.  2011- US pressing

 

Robbie has such a wonderful bluesy husky soulful voice. His guitar playing is pretty nice to, Although Clapton is helping out a bit.

Anyone remember Ultra Vivid Scene from the late 80's ? New York Alt rockers with pop sensibility signed to 4AD.

Giving their 92 third and final album a spin. Excellent stuff

I don't remember them because I've never heard of them  ;)

 

Thanks to you I now have and after sampling tracks from their 3 albums on YouTube - I love it! I'll now be hunting them down.

 

Thanks

Another great band signed to 4AD - the Wolfgang Press - ***** 1991.  Original UK pressing comes with an additional 12 inch single with a couple of remixes from M Young, aka Colourbox

 

LOL. Interesting how PC this place is, the name of the album has been censored. :confused:

This is a very good recording, I'm listening to the CD. She uses everything from digital sampler, frame drums, violas, many types of guitar, this list goes on. Some great songs on this album.

After seeing you spin some Concrete Blond a while back it was in the back of my mind.   Now is the right time

Bought their first album after hearing them playing in a SF record store when it first came out. Have their second but haven't heard their last one.
