Never found her particularly attractive. Now, Venus is another story...

The problem with master tapes is that the "originals" seem to be found every, what, 5-7 years?

Wow! Sutcliffe and Best! Very old, and very rare photo! And even though I'm a huge fan of The Beatles, this is the first time I've ever heard of Williams.

AHA!

Ain't it awful? Somebody owns their face!

Interesting. Though I'd bet a few lawsuits later there will be a uniform rule/law...

Yeah, what a horrific 24 hours for that family.

And now her mother has also passed. Surreal...

I knew of the lawsuit, but never heard him complain about anything outside of that. It wasn't as "in your face" as what Prince did, so maybe that has something to do with it. I dunno...

So, I guess nobody should make any more money than I do. And if they do, then they should just keep their trap shut whenever they feel like they're getting screwed over. Look, I think lots of people make money that I look at as obscene. But you know what? That still doesn't preclude them from being happy. And if they aren't happy, and want to try to do something about it, then more power to them. And if you don't like the fact that they don't like the fact that they aren't happy...so what? Guess who really needs to move on?

This ^^^

They are remastered from the original master tapes. It states it in the link you provided. And I'm sure they do sound good. Anything would be better than many of those "not very good" RVG editions, which were thoroughly underwhelming. Though, I have to admit the pricing is a bit outrageous. But hey, I've bought Pink Floyd "Immersion" sets, so I have no room to talk.

I mean are they simply transfers from previous digital masters, or remastered from original master tapes?

Wow, being upset over a bad contract. I guess both he and Prince were just untalented, whiny babies that don't deserve any respect as artists.

All of those titles are fully remastered?

That's quite a pairing! Have you heard this album? Thoughts?

Agreed, and I appreciate your explanation.

I've never understood the need to shit on someone's grave, even if they were reprehensible people, which George Michael obviously was not. But at least erwbol took it to a whole new level of shitting ion those who were paying respect to the deceased. Good stuff. I think mjazzg really summed up the importance of an artist like Mr. Michael. He wasn't just a shallow Pop star, but an important figure for a community that is always in need of prominent people to champion their cause. IMO, that is the most important aspect of his legacy.

So we can now call others Nazis and not have our posts deleted? Asking for a friend.

And another!

I agree. She was the real deal, and never tried to sugar coat it or shy away from it. She lived the life, and wore it like a badge of honor.

2016 is the only thing that won't fucking die! Rest peacefully, Princess.

HA! I'm glad I revisited this thread, as I haven't listened to this in over a decade, I'm sure. Going on the playlist for this evening!

I'm thinking I'll end up sharing your sentiment, which is why I didn't rush out to the theater to see it. I really hoped for a proper biography.
