ABBA – The Name Of The Game : the acoustic strumming in the chorus is ace!

RChappo commented on the post, Devices going wrong #2 – the iPod 7 years, 7 months ago
I live in constant fear that my 160GB iPod Classic will fail on me. In fact, I think its hard drive is already failing after it had a “funny turn” about a year ago and now I can only safely get about 80GB worth of […]

RChappo commented on the post, Jethro Tull – “Too old to rock ’n’ roll: too young to die!” 8 years, 4 months ago
I finally got this set last week and I think it is terrific. As I said above, I had never heard this LP previously but I really like it a lot. I know it’s not generally highly regarded by fans (or IA himself […]

I can’t wait to get hold of this – sounds like it maintains the same value and quality standards as the previous re-issue boxes. It is also one of the Tull LPs that I haven’t previously heard prior to buying it as […]

I’m really enjoying these Tull reissues – everything about them is top notch (including the price). I’m looking forward to this one in particular as I’ve never heard the album before, so it will all be new to me.

I bought the 12″ single of that!
I still quite like it though. -

I think this is one of the reasons why this program of releases feels a little unsatisfying to me. I really don’t see why they would deviate from the chronological order – that way you would get to trace how […]

I would buy the deluxe ‘Back To The Egg’ if the TV Special was included. They could include the ‘Rockestra’ documentary too. We can hope.

Thanks for the information and opinions everyone – I think I may pick up the deluxe McCartney II and Ram boxes for a start and then take it from there. If I see others anywhere at a bargain price I might take a punt.

I bought the mono Ram reissue from a couple of years back on vinyl – that sounded great to my ears. I’d be curious to hear the Venus & Mars remaster because I’ve always though the original mix of that album was a […]

Yes, I am really enjoying the JT reissues – if only all reissues were handled as well. Also enjoyed your Ian Anderson podcast btw.

Yes, the extra tracks do seem a bit of a jumble. Looking at the ‘McCartney’ extra tracks – just 7 of them and 3 of them from are from a concert from 1979 that has been heavily bootlegged in full.
I may spring […]

I notice this morning that details have emerged about the next couple of McCartney Archive collection re-issues : ‘Tug Of War’ and ‘Pipes Of Peace’ coming in October.
Is anybody buying these sets and if so what […] -

The one for Shane Meadows’ “Dead Men’s Shoes” is good. Also for music DVDs the commentaries on Wilco’s “I AmTrying To Break Your Heart” and Crowded House’s “Farewell To The World” are entertaining.

No, it was just the two of them. They sounded good. There was some footage of Left Eye on the screens at a few points during their set.

It would be too obvious for me to slate this concert, after all I’m nowhere near the demographic for this kind of thing. But I like pop music, can be […] -

I started buying bootleg cassettes in the mid-80s from record fairs – the ones with the garish colored covers as mentioned earlier. Had a few years of trading Beatles and related boots via post with a few people […]

Bugger. It’s a UK only thing. The book disappeared off the site when I put my US credit card details in.
