I’m – of course – for the full book treatment. Maybe you get rid of the plastic trays; they’re taking a lot of space. There was a Hank Williams book some time ago that had the CDs in slots at the front and the […]

»Bobby Brown« also has a parallel history as the most-played wedding song at Turkish/Arabian weddings in Germany. And no, they don’t get the lyrics (or the irony…), they’re just all clapping along until »I’m go […]

A pedant asks: why are the Nico reissues always referred to as one release (»The Marble Index/Desertshore«)? Each one was issued as a separate CD or LP. BTW: they were released in November 2023, the 2024 D […]
