Love it! This is a reproduction i can embrace. I didnt play the commentary on CD #2 - that will wait for another day. But as you said, how could i go out of my way for all the fan club editions, various compilations, cd singles, etc, and not get this item. altho i have as of yet resisted buying any of the 2 disc deluxe reissues. <br /><br />but speaking of 2 disc deluxe reissues, i just bought the one of Duran Duran's Rio, and cant wait to play it. maybe not your cuppa tea, but jeez i love that album.<br /> <br />you already know of my love for echo and the bunnymen, but dont think OMD has come up before. yes, another group i am compulsive about - every album is delicious, and the sparkling reissues of the first 4 titles are so very very worthy.<br /> <br />i think i will be buying the kraftwerk box set when it finally comes out, even tho i have all the albums on CD. seeing that they're the beatles of synthpop, i'm compelled to hear them in remastered glory!taffynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-63499403057037168912009-10-21T14:40:59.961-04:002009-10-21T14:40:59.961-04:00I love Joan Armatrading and I recommend "What...I love Joan Armatrading and I recommend "What's Inside" from '95.

When I started collecting I used to get vinyl to pore over the cover art and then the tape to play on my Walkman. Things have only got worse since. If you want a Joan Armatrading album where you don't need to skip any tracks I strongly recommend 'To the Limit' It's quite hard to find too - which makes it all the more desirable :)rODDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834134485016571701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-76196227750835352462009-10-21T12:50:17.952-04:002009-10-21T12:50:17.952-04:00I am not kidding... just as I started reading this...I am not kidding... just as I started reading this blog, out of the 8025 on my iPod (which is on shuffle right now) Heart Full of Soul by Chris Isaak came on! Neato!<br />Anyway, I was the same way with DEVO (since early teen), Elivis Costello (since late teens), Pat Benatar and Chris Isaak (since early 20's). Luckily I grew less obsessive when I got older and their output lessened(save Elivs, who reliable releases stuff regularily) Once in awhile I find myself discovering someone and then going back to find their older stuff and collecting- like AIR whom I discovered on the Lost In Translation soundtrack a few years back... I'm trying not to, but I keep going back farther & farther and buying & buying.Danny in WeHohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353605624997446562noreply@blogger.com
