Is this wrong? or maybe okay?

Almost as wretched as the first incarnation of it!

Me, and I agree.

I love the Steve McQueen demos too - I think they’re demos rather than re-recorded acoustic versions.

Mary Black did this a while ago.

Although not an album as such , it it a collection of a lot of her favourite songs orchestrated. At the exact time of its release she gave a concert in Cork Opera House where a large screen ran a video of the orchestra playing while she sang in front of the screen.

I was at that concert and before hearing it i just didn’t think it could work. But i was totally wrong , it just gave the songs a whole new feeling. But at the same time it took nothing away from the original recordings. It’s an album i now play often so it is possible for albums/songs to be reimagined successfully. Although i quite believe its also possible to ruin an album if done unsympathetically.
