Comments, questions, ramblings...
Rolling Stones
Attention New England residents: Newbury comics is selling the new Stone hybrids at $11.99. This is the cheapest I've seen them.
I picked up Hot Rocks for $23.99. I forgot how much they were charging for the Singles Collection since I'm not particularly interested in that title.
I simply could not wait for stuff to come in the mail. Hot Rocks should hold me over until my order from Best Buy arrives.
Yes- Magnification
I found a 2 CD import version of Magnification for $24.99. Does anyone have this one? Do you think it's worth it?
Track list for the second disk:
1. Deeper (in the Presence Of) (Live)
2. Gates of Delirium (Live)
3. Magnification (Live)
4. CD-ROM track:
- Jon Anderson Video Interview
- Don't Go (Single Video)
- Gates of Delirium (Live Video)
The second track was the selling point for me. I really hope it's the whole thing and not some lame-ass short version or excerpt.
If the second disc is good, I'm glad I waited so long to pick this album up.
Miles Davis
Found a used copy of We Want Miles. I stayed away from his 80s work because it's blasted by pretty much everyone. Silly me- I should known better than to trust critics and others over Miles himself. His late music was damn good. Marcus Miller is a monster on bass. Of course Miles works with master musicians. Sure there are some bum tunes, but the good more than makes up for it. The "80s" sound is a bit dated, but that doesn't stop us from listening to the Talking Heads, right?
DCC Gold Discs
I saw a bunch of these in the used section, including, off the top of my head:
John Coltrane- Lush Life, Traneing In (I have both of these on regular CD)
Miles Davis- Musings of Miles
They were going for $15.99. Is it worth it? Would there be a significant improvement in sound or do they just look pretty? I know Mobile Fidelity had a reputation for making fancy expensive nice gold discs, but I can't assume that it's necessarily true for these DCC discs, especially since there are a bunch stuck in the used bin.
Happy shopping!
NP: Rolling Stones, Hot Rocks, SACD, CD layer- finally!
