Jethro Tull - The Broadsword and the Beast 40th Anniversary Monster Edition

Robin Trower-Twice Removed From Yesterday (50th Anniversary deluxe edition)

One of the finest guitarists in rock history, with unparalleled tone 👌🏻

Slim

Ordered the 2017 remix of Sergeant Pepper. I have the 2009 remaster which is great, but anecdotally, the 2017 stereo mix by Giles Martin is better. Uses first generation tapes, which the 2009 remaster didn't.

I like Robin Trower but really his sound is just Jimi Hendrix with a bit of phaser.

Looking forward to an In-depth, track by track review. Should carry us through to 2028 or so.

Once I've done in depth reports on the complete recording sessions for King Crimson's Lark's Tongues in Aspic...

Got to admit I don't have the heart to do something like that. I'd be thinking - am I actually going to listen to all of these, in my remaining lifetime? If so, how often? Which inevitably makes me think about mortality.

I doubt I will ever listen to all of them, bought it for the 5.1 mixes and I'd never bought any Camel later than Breathless so I've got a few more in their oeuvre now.

Treated myself to a standalone portable cd player (that has yet to arrive courtesy of DHL). It a Shanling ec mini, looking forward to it.
Yes I already have a Marantz cd player, but this is for on my desk, headphones plugged in.

So with that goes... New cd's! Because the 700 I have are not enough...
Anyway, I found these neat little boxes on Amazon for under 20 euro. 5x Mahavishnu Orchestra (the early stuff), a one disc Mahavishnu 'lost sessions', 2 boxes of 5x Weather Report, the Cure's Join the Dots (rarities and b sides) and a live cd of Dutch band Death Alley. All together 100 euros for 21 cd's. Not bad.

While browsing I also bumped into a Rush box with the Atlantic albums Presto to Snakes and arrows and includes the VT remix, 7 discs for 12,31 eur  :o
I have the albums somewhere so left it, but it's a bargain if you're looking for latter day Rush.

The Yes Album [Super Deluxe]

Just turned up in a box which said FRAGILE on it, had me worried for a minute...

I love that album, but - £93 for 6 CDs?
