The CD is worse due to sharp highs and pervasive edginess that make it hard to listen to. A 2009 CD remastered by Guy Massey and Steve Rooke smooths and fills things out. Rhythms have more drive, dynamics have some life, and the superior transparency makes details more audible.... Both constitute worthy upgrades over their predecessors."

I have the 2017 50th Anniversary Special Sgt. Pepper, which I don't like:

"...the younger Martin fails us. He boosted all of the vocals—as well as certain instruments—to the point where they're right in your face. And there's no letup. So rather than the Beatles' carefully-plotted journey through emotional highs and lows, Martin gives us an album that's unremittingly aggressive. Rather than inviting you into a fascinating world, as even the lousiest-sounding predecessors did, the new edition pushes you away."

I thought the bass was boosted too much, catering to more modern tastes.

Thanks for the link. An interesting read indeed. Sounds like if George Martin, The Beatles producer and sometimes known as the 5th Beatle, were alive he would've been disappointed in his son, Giles.

IIRC Phil Spector, who produced the Beatles Let It Be album, took liberties as well that The Beatles (specifically Paul) were unhappy with. Phil Spector was a great producer in his time and known for "The Wall of Sound."

I posted this song a while back but not with this video. It's pretty funny. I still think this is an interesting group but not sure what others think. I guess I dig their retro sort of 80s vibe with their sound and style.

From The Band's "The Last Waltz."

Just coincidence, my friend. Like I said before, it happens, more often than you think.

TiMSport · 12-08-2021, 03:32 PM

No, never! Haha. That's 2 days in a row at the exact same time and checking before posting. Hmm.

Esteban · 12-08-2021, 03:33 PM

Let's do it again, TiMSport. Ready, set...

Must be you, then. Your post has come after mine twice. How are you doing that? lol (JK)

I say we just follow your motto and "simply not give a f***."

But here they are.

TiMSport · 12-08-2021, 06:49 PM

This is such an underrated song by this band. Came out 20 years ago.

Written by Pete Ham of Badfinger.

Nilsson's version is so much better IMO.

Well, I'm a barrel of laughs with my carbine on
I keep 'em hopping until my ammunition's gone
But I'm still not happy
I feel like there's something wrong
I got the revolution blues
I see bloody fountains
And ten million dune buggies coming down the mountains
Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars
But I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars

Thanks Steve,
That's new to me, & very good!

"... A central piece on the 1974 album On the Beach, "Revolution Blues" is one among a collection of songs taking on the personal and collective psyche in Nixon-era America.... "
