Loved discovering the Lightmen + 1 on this BFT, now have 3 CD's by them, which are all wonderful, thanks so much! I have the Bennie Green also, and it is indeed nice. Thanks, major discoveries for me from your BFT's two years in a row! Nicole Glover last year 😊.

I'm all in favor of the best listening experience (music, SQ, packaging) one can have, based on financial and lifestyle factors. I have cheap equipment but use the one brand of headphones that works best for me (Sennheiser) and 90% of my listening is through headphones. I have a crowded house including an exuberant (and musically gifted - not my genes, our daughter was adopted) seven year old grandson who lives with us, so expensive speakers, etc. would be lost on me, but I'm certainly in favor of them for those who can afford them and have the opportunity to enjoy them. The apparent lack of discographical details in the '54 and '55 sets is a turnoff to me, as packaging can substantially add to or subtract from my listening experience. That's why I'd rather have individual BN CD's rather than a Mosaic set that never shows the original packaging, even if the Mosaic sounds marginally better - trying to recapture the magic of the original release.

I do too. There are many better sounding alternatives though, these two recent releases among them.
Honest question, is the sound difference substantial? If so, I could be persuaded to purchase these recent releases.

BTW, that McDonald & Giles album is quite wonderful and substantial.

They pave paradise and put out a big box set.
With a pink deluxe booklet, a download and a swingin' bonus disc.

Catching Bruce live is a life-changing experience, enough to convert even the most reluctant haters. I've been lucky enough to catch him live in Madrid three times, the last one during his world-wide tour on June 2024. Amazing how he keeps all his energy and his engaging presence on stage. Of course, in terms of album quality, nothing's been the same since 'Born To Run', 'The River', 'Nebraska' or, above all, 'Darkness...', but my admiration and respect for him, as a musician and as a human being, has not decreased over the years.
Agree on all counts, especially on Darkness. Saw him in 1973 (opening for Chicago at the Spectrum), 1985, and 2002.

Pass. I have all the 60's/70's Joni boxes, set for life.

The energy and effort level in his concerts is enough to convert some listeners who didn't "get it" after album listening only.
That was the case with me. Seeing his No Nukes performance on the Tower Theatre opened me up, and I then grasped his albums much more fully.

when the price on the used market gets to around $50, I'm in. Until then, no way.

Agreed on the BITUSA box likely not happening. It's been a decade since the River box. I don't hold BITUSA with nearly the same regard as the earlier albums, but it was HUGE, so I'm surprised the box never happened.

$37 per CD?!?!?! Are they kidding?

I'd be willing to pay $7 per CD but there's no way I'd drop $265 to hear sessions that Springsteen wouldn't even release when he cut them.
Agreed, this is absurd. His post-1980 output has had very spotty quality IMO, and these are outtakes!

They were another of the best Paisley Underground groups also along with Rain Parade. Early Green on Red (when Chris Cacavas was in the group) probably completes that list for me. I should check where they are playing in Philly!

Why did Dolly leave Porter?
Because he wanted to move her off third base on the Porter Wagoner Revue softball team, as Mel Tillis was a better fielder?

Yes, well played!

These were reissued on three Prestige CD's in the mid-90's. I discovered them then. George Coleman and Kirk Lightsey? Yes, please!

Are there any updates about the next round of physical releases? Thanks!
Not until the fall is my understanding.

The Paisley Underground was the last rock "movement" I really love (and I only discovered it after the fact), and Rain Parade were one of the best groups in it, and this, 'Emergency Third Rail Power Trip' was their masterpiece. I am listening to the new 2-disc deluxe edition:
