There's basically two masterings and three editions. The original edition is an old school box set: long box dimensions in terms of length and width, it's an actual box with three separate jewel cases for each disc. The next two editions sprung out of the 1999/2000 remasters. One's a shrunken-down v...

What about the London Calling deluxe edition from a couple years back? Does the album disc in that set just use a clone of the remaster? IMHO, I always thought the original London Calling disc sucked. There were a lot of dropouts on it if I recall correctly. The remaster sounds fine to me from that...

Daltrey always complained that his vocals were too low in the mix. So the remix attempted to address that, I guess. I presume it's Townshend-approved. Yeah, the remix addresses that. From a sound quality perspective, the original mix is better and best heard on the MFSL gold discs. The remix doesn'...

Iggy Pop's 1997 remix of "Search & Destroy"
Just in case anyone's curious, the Rhino punk box set, No Thank! , has a much better mastering of this track. I think a lot of compression's built into the mix, but when Iggy Pop supervised the 1997 reissue of Raw Power , he obviously asked for a LOT more at the mastering stage. He talks about this ...

I've been buying up old Clash CD's because after buying the old box set from 1991, it's clear the remasters suck. It's all a little confusing, but it breaks down like this: The old CD's are all right, but some of them don't sound like the original master tapes. This is especially true of the U.S. ve...

Buffalo Springfield Again - mono mix - on a KDX server(?)
Anyone know what a KDX server is and how to access it? This guy ripped the mono mix of Buffalo Springfield Again and put it up there: http://freqazoidiac.blogspot.com/2007/09/buffalo-springfield-again-dj-mono-promo.html To recap, the mono mix for this has never been issued. It's THE mix, the one the...

HOLY @#$#@ - Velvets and Modern Lovers
From a Libertines forum: The Gymnasium, NYC I'm not into VU bootlegs really, but apparently this is a big deal. It's the ONLY available live stuff from 1967 and has only become available in literally the last two days. Recorded just after the release of The Velvet Underground And Nico and featuring ...

What five words would you use to describe Dems or GOPers?
A friend of mine put this together for the AP, and it got picked up by ABC News, among other places. She's going to do a follow-up story, which will include comments posted on the YouTube page hosting the video. Basically, she wants you to describe Democrats or Republicans in five words. SO....if yo...

Flipping through the songs I've got loaded on iTunes, I boiled it down to 20 songs. Really a personal compilation rather than an attempt at something 'definitive,' I followed 5 basic guidelines. 1) Has to be a Who performance, no solo demos. 2) Has to be a studio recordings. 3) Has to be a Who origi...

British and Dutch police have shut down one of the world's biggest sources of illegally-downloaded music. A flat on Teesside and several properties in Amsterdam were raided as part of an Interpol investigation into the members-only website OiNK. The UK-run site has leaked 60 major pre-release albums...
