  1. Well, what I was trying to ask is "are there any recordings on "Let it Be" that aren't available on either Past Masters 1 or 2 or any of the regular album releases? I "found" a copy of Let it Be earlier and my ears tell me that all of these songs/recordings are already in my collection as part of the aforementioned albums. What I think I just figured out was that you liked the song selection. Originally, I thought you said you preferred it because it had alternate versions.
  2. I agree, that is a great track.
  3. The tracks on this one sound just like the ones that turned up later on Past Masters. Am I correct? Same mix?
  4. They play it on Tourfilm - an incredible DVD BTW.
  5. I agree. GREAT photo. I just found Let it Be, BTW.
  6. So a big improvement on the origninal CD masters? Absolutely!!
  7. Since my friend forced me to listen to the IRS albums in the late eighties. Eventually they grew on me and I have been a fan ever since. I much prefer the IRS years plus Green, which I think was their last great album. Out of time was not as solid IMO and though Automatic for the People was incredible, their stuff as of late just sounds like it was written by old people. I bought Around the Sun and barely made it through it once. Saw them twice for the Green tour - awesome shows!! Then I saw them for the Monster tour at MSG and thought it was OK, could've done with much more album tracks and less GR. Hits, but... Then I saw them for the UP show at Hammerstein Ballroom. I won tickets on the radio by singing the entire first verse of It's the End of the World As we Know it. I finally got a copy of the 1991 Unplugged show (audio.) I also have the IRS compilation In the Attic, which apparently isn't as rare as I thought. Got some nice early Boots too. This is a toughie. Probably Sweetness Follows. Easy, Life's Rich Pageant. Michael. The others do very little for me, actually. I'm more a lyrics and message kinda guy.
  8. Well, how long have you been a fan? Do you like all their stuff or just one era? Seen them live? What did you think? What's the rarest release that you own? Favorite song? Favorite album? Favorite member? (I realize this a lot of questions, but they are one of my favorite bands (top ten)) I'll answer when I have had more sleep.
  9. To be clear, I was referring to Virgin Megastore.
  10. Saw it last night at Virgin. It's still on sale. I guess you don't have one near you?
  11. Which album(s) were of the Mick Taylor years?
  12. Hey Joel. I actually don't like the effect of using the tone controls, as my receiver does not boost the level in a way that sounds natural. Having said that, yes, I have tried boosting the bass and got decent results. It's a mixed bag, but yes, overall the earlier is worse.
  13. Is that from the Purple 4 CD Box?
  14. I t doesn't bother me one bit during the song, just that last minute. Do you know the sound I am referring to?
  15. That cover is from a boot, no? Which one? I think I read that that's one of the best ones out there.
  16. I finally heard disc one from the box. FWIW, I do hear a strange noise during the last minute of the live Red House. Perhaps that's feedback, but to me, it's really unpleasant.
  17. I'm with you. I like everything up to and including Nashville Skyline. After that, I just couldn't deal with his voice. I am very grateful for No Direction Home, where I first discovered that Dylan had a voice. I had only heard the later stuff and never liked it due to his sandpaper vocals. That first plugged in performance of Maggie's Farm is easily the best live performance of anything ever!
  18. Have you (or anyone else) heard both the DSD and the London Hot Rocks? The USD is good on some tracks, terrible on others. Overall, there's not enough bass for my taste.
