I tend to value the types of remastered releases where there is a discernible reduction in distortion. To many however its likely that this is what gave the original music its tonal quality and I get that.
Have you heard the Oasis cover of I am the Walrus? I really like it!
Latest haul from last night from my favorite record shop.

Led Zeppelin - In Through The Out Door, just delivered.
I have never heard this, Indeed, the first four Led Zeppelin albums are the only ones that I know at all well.

Hi Graham
I suggest you get your hands on Physical Graffiti ASAP
I think it’s the best outside of the first four.

Steely Dan - Countdown to Ecstasy.
After the disappointment of the first of this new series of Dan resissues (Can’t Buy A Thrill) I held back from buying this one until it was cheap enough that if it too disappointed then I wouldn’t feel too bad about it. And thank heavens I did! It’s another curiously lifeless reissue that leaves me hankering for any of my other earlier issues - even the slightly brittle sounding Japanese one! At least the sleeve is done reasonably well, and a nice printed inner too. The vinyl though…? I guess if it’s all you have then it’s likely fine, but really, oh dear…

I guess that’s why it is on sale at HMV at half price !

I guess so. It’s not quite as bad as Can’t Buy a Thrill and some tracks fare much better than others, but overall it’s another disappointment. I bought Pretzel Logic at the same time (even cheaper!) and I can’t say I’m feeling particularly optimistic about it…

Led Zeppelin IV arrived yesterday, courtesy of the Big River.
(I wonder how many times I’ve bought that particular LP?)

Stealth Duke Pearson session ! Johnny Coles is great on though.
Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Sessions, first UK pressing. Dropped off child No1 at Uni yesterday and found this in the local secondhand record shop. This was one of the first CDs I bought, so looking forward to giving the vinyl version a spin when I get the TT out of mothballs in a few months, especially as the CD sounds very good indeed.
