    I have the Prince Sign o' the Times super-deluxe box and love it. Missed out on the 1999 set, though. Did they do one for Purple Rain, or is the "Expanded" 3-CD set the most expansive reissue out there? But yeah, such collections are great for hyperfans. I have all of Rhino's superlative Replacements box-sets, plus deluxe reissues of the Pretenders' first two albums, Love's Forever Changes, and Lou Reed's New York, in addition to the two Springsteen boxes mentioned above. (Though I won't be picking up this Tracks 2 collection--my interest in his catalogue is devoted almost entirely to the 1973-87 period.) And while I know there's controversy about Giles Martin's remasterings, I've also really enjoyed the Beatles albums that have gotten the super-deluxe treatment over the past decade (Revolver, Sgt Pepper, The White Album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be). Recently I've had the gigantic Smile box set out for a spin in the wake of Brian Wilson's death. All great stuff for those who like deep dives into particular artists and albums for which they retain an abiding passion.

    They didn’t do Purple Rain for some reason. The last one was Diamonds and Pearls. I agree the SOTT is awesome. I have two of the 1999 sets because one had two “vault 2 tracks” CDs and is missing “vault 1 tracks”. If you’re interested let me know.

    Although I’ve never had much of any interest in Springsteen’s music, I have always had a decent amount of respect for him.  Can’t say I’ve heard more than a handful or two of his tunes over the years (just whatever I heard on the radio in high school mosty, in the mid 80’s) — and I literally don’t know that I’ve heard more than a few songs of his since then (in close to 40 years).

    He’s always seemed like the real deal to me, but his is a style of music I’ve just never cottoned to much.

    I’ve never specifically disliked what I’ve heard — and I’ve never changed the channel when he was on Letterman, or The Tonight Show, etc.  But he just never turns up anywhere in most of the music media I consume.

    This is me as well. But I’m sure there are people who are excited to see this come out and I personally love bloated deluxe releases. As someone who owns all the Prince super deluxe releases, I like seeing these releases do well in hopes they keep coming.

    I returned my CD to Amazon, got a replacement, returned that one, bought the dig download which was fine.  Meanwhile before I bought the download I wrote Resonance and asked for a copy of the download.  Three weeks later they finally responded and  sent me the link for the download files.  Wish I had waited.  Cost me $10.

    That’s pretty disappointing but not unexpected. Sounds like they know the issue but don’t want to rectify it. Giving the download is the most cost effective remedy.

  4. I got my Dorham in today. Went straight to track 7 and my player (Emotiva ERC-3) stopped at 0:59 and then started skipping. I'll rip it and see how that sounds. There sure is a lot of tape noise on the the track 7 I heard though. Was expecting it a little cleaner.

     

    Edit: Okay this is freaking bizarre. Track 7 on the CD sounds like ass but the rip sounds great. WTF is going on with this pressing?!?

    While I'd love to see more, I'm thankful for what they did get issued/reissued during the CD era.  Never dreamed I would see the titles I have from them.  Tom Albach, and Matt after him, surely did this latter-day work as a labor of love rather than a big profit-making venture?  And really, is that much essential music from the Nimbus West Catalog that has not gotten reissued?  I know there are some Tapscott titles (especially solo), and a few stray L.A.-based titles from others that have not made it back out (and I don't much care about the later European recordings, which are a whole different thing), but the bulk of it has been made available to those who jumped on it.   I celebrate and give thanks for a glass that is 80% full.

    My sentiment is the same, which though I’ll be disappointed if I don’t get the LPs, I don’t feel like this was a malicious money grab. I partially preordered them in hopes it would lead to more releases.

    The solo on there goes the neighborhood’s On A Misty Night is my favorite solo of all time. It’s magic.

    The physical "bargain basement" had a bunch of "well played" records mostly under $2.00. like at Josey, basically a lot of crap, but you might find something quirky enough or something just for a cover.

    Yeah. I’ve been in both of those bargain basements. I was on a bit of a time crunch but DG’s basement was a bit overwhelming in compactness and organization.

    About this album

    When Vinny Golia arrived in Los Angeles in 1973, soprano saxophone in hand, he chanced to meet local legends Horace Tapscott, John Carter, and Bobby Bradford, all of whom became mentors. Each of them took him under their wings, and Golia has spent his entire career paying forward their efforts. Can You Outrun Them? is proof on wax—signed, sealed, and delivered—that the years have not diminished his passion, his creativity, or his appreciation for his musical community. 

    —Bret Sjerven, New York City, New York
