Holy cow, Padraig. My admiration for your musical voraciousness notwithstanding, I wonder where you keep all these CDs! I hope you have an annex. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 3822 Registered: 05-2005 |
Rob, space is definitely an issue. There are CDs everywhere, even after getting rid of hundreds of them. I throw away the hard plastic cases and put the discs into soft plastic sleeves. That saves a lot of space. | ||

He still lives in Dublin Randy. I emailed him to say I'd bought the record. He said he'd recently been listening to it himself in preparation for some live shows! I think he has left law and academia well and truly behind. | ||

Can't afford the rent. I don't like the sound of that Padraig. Red Eye and Rocking Horse are the places I look to for just about all of my Aussie music purchases. Is foot traffic declining, or is the landlord just greedy? | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2228 Registered: 10-2004 |
Randy, the Amoeba's owners said several months ago that if things don't pick up they might actually close their flagship store in Berkeley, and I think you're aware of the significance of that. It seems well-established record stores all over the globe are being affected in various ways by poor economy and an increasingly MP3 dominated market. And greedy landlords as well, but that is in many cases linked to the crappy economy. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 3981 Registered: 05-2005 |
Randy, when I first went into Red Eye 19 years ago, most of the customers were the same age as me - early to mid 20s. Today, the customers are still the same age as me, early to mid 40s, but minus those who dropped out of buying new music. And that's the problem; there are so few younger people coming in to replace the older ones. Any time you see someone in their 20s in the shop you almost feel like giving them a hug and welcoming them to the wonderful world of record shops (sorry if that sounds condescending to the youth; it's not meant to). Red Eye is reopening on Monday two blocks away, across from a major bus depot. I hope that visibility helps them. They might have to start stocking some chart pop to benefit from it though. One of the guys in Red Eye told me the former premises will likely become some sort of fashion boutique, as that is the way King St is going. I don't know if the landlord is being greedy, but I do know that commercial rents in Australia are far higher than in the US. I can see that changing gradually over the next decade though, as so many bricks and mortar retail stores are closing because they can't compete with internet prices. Dozens of record and book shops have closed in Sydney (and Melbourne, Brisbane etc) in the last few years. | ||

Those are depressing reports from both of you. I guess I'd better get my butt down to the Hollywood Amoeba. I've been meaning to go there and look at vinyl anyway as I'm not too keen to buy vinyl online and risk it being warped on the journey to me. I guess we are dinosaurs. | ||

Has anyone picked up the new Sundazed reissues of the Left Banke's Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina and Too? I think I'm content with my There's Gonna Be a Storm CD, but if they put these out on vinyl, I might have to throw down some cash for 'em. | ||
| Hugh Nimmo Member Username: Hugh_nimmo Post Number: 322 Registered: 03-2007 |
Jeff, I know that Parasol Records are selling them on cd and vinyl. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 2691 Registered: 03-2005 |
Jeff, I've never bought any of Sundazed's vinyl releases so have no idea how well they're done. I too am satisfied with "There's Gonna Be a Storm." I gave away my Mercury vinyl copies of "Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina" and "Too" (finding "Too" in the first place was a major and expensive achievement) back when I unwisely decided that I didn't need to keep vinyl copies of things I had gotten on CD. | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2235 Registered: 10-2004 |
Oh man, you got rid of "Too"? That is an awfully hard (and pricey) one to find! My vinyl copy of Love's Da Capo is a Sundazed reissue, and it's okay, although there is a bit of surface noise here and there (even though I bought it new). I have an old and somewhat noisy stereo pressing of Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina, which I never play. It would be nice to have good, playable versions of both on vinyl, but since I'm moving in a few months (and won't be taking LPs with me, obviously) it seems kind of silly right now. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 2693 Registered: 03-2005 |
Jeff, I got rid of a number of fantastic '60s things. The other one that still tortures me is the United Artists pressing of the U.S. version of the Easybeats' second international album "Falling Off the Edge of the World." It's a significantly better collection than the British counterpart "Vigil" and it was another of those exotic hard-to-find albums. I hunted for it forever. The Hollies' 1965 U.S. album "Hear Here" is another one that makes me groan to remember. Oh yeah, and the U.S. pressing of "Scott 2." Ok, I'm done with this thread; I'm going to go shoot myself. I figured that CDs liberated me forever from the hassles of vinyl and had cleaner sound so why bother? Brilliant. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 3985 Registered: 05-2005 |
Jeff, you say you're "moving in a few months (and won't be taking LPs with me, obviously)". Why "obviously"? Are you moving to a hitherto unexplored exoplanet where the climate is either too hot or cold for vinyl? | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2236 Registered: 10-2004 |
Padraig, I'm moving to Slovakia in a few months, and there's no way I can afford to take 1500 LPs with me. Luckily, I've found a place to store them, but it kind of feels silly to be buying LPs right now, especially of music that I already have in digital format! Maybe once there and settled I can think about finding a turntable and buying LPs again. | ||
| skulldisco Member Username: Skulldisco Post Number: 1322 Registered: 10-2008 |
well, you nailed it with the climate padraig, depending on the time of year! all the best with your move jeff. | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2237 Registered: 10-2004 |
Thanks. Still a few months to go, but yes, we were in Slovakia and Czech Republic last winter for three weeks and it was freezing. Totally beautiful, but freezing! | ||

| skulldisco Member Username: Skulldisco Post Number: 1324 Registered: 10-2008 |
Jeff, I have been to Prague in the Czech Republic and its a beautiful city. We went in mid may and the weather was beautiful, apparently the summers are great. The beer is fantastic which is always a bonus! Where will you be living, Bratislava? | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 3987 Registered: 05-2005 |
Good luck with the move Jeff. Very exciting. You should check out shipping prices. I shipped several thousand records, CDs, cassettes, videos, books etc to Australia from Ireland nine years ago, and it was much cheaper than I had expected. | ||
| Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 2222 Registered: 01-2005 |
Praque would certainly be in my top 5 must see European cities to visit. The other four would be Budapest, Paris, Viennna, and either Florence or Barcelona as the fifth. | ||
| skulldisco Member Username: Skulldisco Post Number: 1327 Registered: 10-2008 |
michael, barcelona and paris are wonderful cities, but you knew that anyway!! strangely enough budapest and vienna are also on my wishlist of european cities to visit, but she that must be obeyed is not keen! rejkavik and rome are apparently our future destinations :-) you should also add berlin to your list, my favourite city behind barcelona. | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2239 Registered: 10-2004 |
Yeah, Prague is a beautiful city, I'd live there in a heartbeat. It's a very liveable place, with great pivo, too! We'll most likely be living in Bratislava, but could end up moving around a bit. Bratislava has a lovely old section, and has been growing rapidly ever since it became a capital. My girlfriend is from Slovakia, which is partly why we're moving there in the first place. All her family is there. Vienna is only 50 minutes from Bratislava by car or train. It's a nice city, but *very* clean and tidy. Almost a little too clean and tidy... If I could live anywhere in the world, it'd be a toss up between Florence and Paris. | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2240 Registered: 10-2004 |
Thanks Padraig. Part of the reason for leaving LPs behind is that we really don't know how long we're going to be there. Could be a year or two, or could be much, much longer. If it looks like we'll be there for the long haul, I could then see myself starting to ship some things over. | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 1607 Registered: 08-2006 |
Jeff, I'm really jealous. I've always dreamed of living abroad (in Paris, mainly, but I'd be happy pretty much anywhere that's not in the middle of a civil war). I hope you'll keep us updated about the experience. | ||
| skulldisco Member Username: Skulldisco Post Number: 1328 Registered: 10-2008 |
rob, forgive me for lowering the standard of this thread temporarily, but you'd be even more jealous when you factor in that czech women are amongst the most beautiful to be found anywhere on this planet ;-) | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 1608 Registered: 08-2006 |
On the contrary, Kev, it only raises my hopes that Jeff will have a spare bedroom for visitors : ) | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 2242 Registered: 10-2004 |
Man, I hope we can find some place with a spare bedroom - I've told a lot of people that they'll have to come and visit us once we're settled. Kevin, both Czech and Slovakian women share that reputation. Funny anecdote: there are daily boat rides between Vienna and Bratislava, that go back and forth on the Danube. The place where you can pick up the boat in Bratislava has numerous tourist brochures that detail all the art, palatial museums, and classical music concerts available in Vienna. The dock in Vienna has a similar assortment of brochures for Bratislava, *except* that instead of cultural/historical stuff, it's photos of tall, hot, scantily clad women dancing in nightclubs with info about the nightlife. Vienna - come for the culture; Bratislava - come for our women! Oh well... whatever it takes to attract the tourists, I suppose... The real challenge is going to be finding some halfway decent record stores. Vienna is so close to Bratislava, and there's got to be something there. I hope... | ||

>Didn't one of the Femmes' members emigrate to Hobart? Tasmania is sure a long way from Milwaukee!

I had both Aphex Twin albums already but its widely acknowledged that they were poorly mastered, and Selected Ambient Works 85-92 especially benefits from the remaster. As I said before I just had CD-R's of the Talk Talk albums but decided to take the plunge and got them both for a combined total of Ł7. The blues albums were just plugging gaps in my collection for three of my favourite artists. Lightnin' Hopkins has accounted for a lot of my playing time this year and for me he is the greatest of the three. Ryan Adams was a contender for this list but so far haven't bitten. His latest is apparently similar to Heartbreaker (which imo is his only great album), but I must admit I find that his overall attitude and his baffling decisions to put out obviously substandard work since Heartbreaker has kinda pissed me off, but listening to the stream of this new album has got me curious again. | ||

David, I take it you bought the 2004 remastered edition of Another Green World? How is the sound quality? I've only have orginal released CD, but never bought the remastered edition. I lost interest in Jefferson Airplance after Marty and Spencer left, so I would be curious to here you comments regarding Bark and Long John Silver. | ||
| David Gagen Member Username: David_g Post Number: 356 Registered: 02-2007 |
Yeh Michael, remastered edition. Listened to it this afternoon, sounded great. I only ever had it on vinyl so not sure how much better than original cd. The Kantner/Slick stuff is not everybody's cup of tea. They remind me of a time when I was young and naive, and knew all the words of Blows Against The Empire, before I had a mortgage, a stressful job, and middle age cynicism. So I'm actually enjoying listening to them now. | ||

Stuart, I can vouch for the Books as well...you might want to look up a few descriptions of their music to see if it might be your cup of tea, but I like both Lost and Safe and The Way Out a lot. | ||
| skulldisco Member Username: Skulldisco Post Number: 1426 Registered: 10-2008 |
The Books are a "Pitchfork" band are they not? Seem to remember one of their albums was their album of the year in 2003 or thereabouts. I think it might have been called something like "The Lemon Of Pink", which is a great name for an album if nothing else. | ||
| Hugh Nimmo Member Username: Hugh_nimmo Post Number: 342 Registered: 03-2007 |
Kevin, I know very little about them other than that they are an American duo who have released four albums. I heard them for the first time just over a week ago on a film soundtrack. Recognised the song immediately but not the artist(s.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vxVT8h5a EE Here is one of their own songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHNArEfBK dc | ||

Geoff, by the way, all the albums are remastered with bonus tracks and there are extensive sleeve notes from Johnny Rogan's book on The Byrds. Eleven albums, 13 discs in all. More than 200 tracks. Bargain. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 2791 Registered: 03-2005 |
Hmmm. I might pick that up too. I don't have most of the post-"Sweetheart" albums though I heard them enough times in my youth because of my brothers. The rarities might be interesting. It does look mighty cheap for what it is. | ||
| Geoff Holmes Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 787 Registered: 05-2005 |
I briefly had a scan of Amazon after I read you report Padraig. Is there anything that isn't on the remasters as I've got all but Byrdmaniax as a remaster. I've also got the Rogan book - haven't read it in a while and it was the version before the revision. I don't have the Deluxe Sweetheart as I would not consider Country my favourite genre by them and a million takes of Gram isn't really my cup of tea. i.e. as a mad Byrds fan is it just going to help Jim afford a better pressie for his missus this Xmas or is it really worth it? Randy, you MUST get The Ballad of Easy Rider pronto. Stone cold classic! | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 2792 Registered: 03-2005 |
Geoff, "Easy Rider" is the only post-"Sweetheart" Byrds album that I currently have. I agree with your opinion. Weirdly, the people making comments on the Amazon site all finger "Untitled" as the best of the era. I also have the old 4-CD anthology which includes a reasonable selection of the other Clarence White-era Byrds. But, remember, I grew up hearing ALL of these records because both of my older brothers were big Byrds freaks. If I buy it, it will be a completist act since I don't have everything right now. And for the price I will probably buy it. From the product description it sounds like you don't need it. Just get "Byrdmaniax" if you want to complete your set and consider it done. I see used copies of that album on the U.S. Amazon site starting at $10.57 USD. Probably less than that for you now, dammit! | ||

I like the extras on the expanded Byrds albums. Nice touch with the radio ads & the recording argument with the drummer fella. | ||
| Geoff Holmes Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 789 Registered: 05-2005 |
There's (of course) Chesnut Mare on "Untitled" but the 2nd cd of the remaster has a nice, janglified version of "All the Things" which makes buying the remaster really worth it. ("Untitled" is my second fave after "Ballad...".) I agree with you about the last ones though. It's a bit of picking out the eyeballs of a dying corpse! That last one especially has some real SHOCKERS on it(e.g. B.B. Class Road). Jerry, that "drummer fella" has the last surname as you except with an extra "e" at the end! I love especially the interview at the end of 5D that has Crosby saying very quickly "It's very good to be one your show man". | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 4159 Registered: 05-2005 |
Chesnut Mare is a very odd song. At best Roger wants to marry the horse - "we’ll be friends for life, she’ll be just like a wife". At worst - "I take this chance and I jump up on her, damned if I don’t land right on top of her" ... well, it just doesn't bear thinking about really. | ||

btw: johnny rogan has issued a new book on the byrds ober 1200 pages. called byrds: requiem for the timeless volume 1. but i don't know if it a further sequel to his landmark book timeless flight or if he really wrote new, interesting things about the band and their members and if it is worth to buy (especially for those who owns timeless flight). | ||

Nice spot Mark! Having spent a memorable night in 1990 with the future Fr Ted writers I wouldn't be surprised if they were Byrds fans (they were both writing for an Irish music magazine at the time and about to up sticks to London to write for soon-to-be-launched Select). | ||

How's the Gainsbourg, Michael? Often seems to attract the word "masterpiece" in French reviews, though a rather brief one, from its track times. Interestingly, there has been the posthumous release of a version by Alain Bashung of the same album; from what I've heard so far though, I think I prefer the original. | ||
| Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 2318 Registered: 01-2005 |
Stuart, The shipment is on it's way and I'll let you know over the coming weekend. It's only my second Gainsbourg, and I've always wanted something besides Melody Nelson. I've never owned any Robert Wyatt or Soft Machine, so I fiqured it's about time I dived in and bought Rock Bottom. |
