Well, that's a question with There's a Riot... Should it be made to sound "good?" It seems to me that an essential part of it is its murkiness (like Exile on Main Street). In what way does it sound "better?" The old version sounded like a fifth generation tape of a murky record that was dubbed over an old Ozzy casette. This sounds like a cool-sounding murky record. I would LOVE to see a RIOT SESSIONS Box set there must be tons of stuff from those sessions.

Listening to FRESH last night it sounded like a different record. Especially IN TIME when the sax comes in on my old cd it drops out in the middle of the solo . On the new remaster it doesn't drop off..i use to always wonder why Sly did this or that maybe the tape was old but i guess not, also Que Sera sounds incredible.

I think hearing the original material is a must. try tracking down the 4 cd box set "Best Unsurpassed Masters ( 62-69). On Disc 4 you will find the Smile lp in very good sound all things considered. I have been lucky enough to have seen Brian live 4 times in the last 5 years twice playing the entire Smile album. Unbelievable and The Wondermints ( his backup group) are just fantastic.

I just checked and they have a copy for $8.99 here is the link http://search.stores.ebay.com/Newbury-Comi...5638693QQsofpZ0

Never bought any Little Jimmy Scott. That's a Specialty release, I think, isn't it? MG Just tried ordering this at CDUniverse. On back order since December - looks like Concord is in the process of deleting it. MG MG , i just picked this up at Newbury Comics for $3.99 so maybe they have another copy on their ebay site .

I'm just glad the game is over the hype is starting to be a little over the top. Maybe now we can just play the games without all this microscopic attention....." Can Dice K throw in the cold ?" "Dice K has never done well in day games " .." the ball is bigger in the US can he grip it?".......it goes on and on enough already. He pitched pretty decent but it's hard to live up to all this hype !!!

Cosmic Scene - Duke and his spacemen

The girl with the legs got booted and the bald guy with the eyes has to be next.

Beckett is having a great day .he just struck out the side in the 6th and has struckout Ichiro 3 times . I have never seen Ichiro strike out that many times in a game. the rumors in boston are that the Sox have interest in Ichiro for next year , but i dunno he looks like a different player even in the field , how old is this guy ? 31 , 32 ?

The Sox are beating the Mariners 11-1 on opening day in the Back Bay , Weaver couldn't even throw a strike. JD Drew hit a home run !

Allen , received the box, great stuff already listened to the first 2 discs what happened to the free Zoot Sims disc? no big deal, Love the title song That Devlin' tune !!! Thanks !! Mark

almost done with disc 5 by now - the first Joe Williams session is terrific! and as always I'm rather underwhelmed by the "April in Paris" material - just one of many similarly good Basie albums, I never understood why this was such a classic, Atomic and other of the Roulette dates are better, as is, in my opinion, the Gus Johnson material (mainly the dance sessions) of the Verve period. How is the Basie Verve set ?.......I'm thinking about ordering this soon .

right now listening to : Duke Ellingtons Spacemen - The Cosmic Scene

Never felt that way about the Beach Boy's .....i grew up on the east coast , and i figured they were singing about stuff that happened out on the left coast . At least they were singing about their surroundings whereas the Rolling Stones always appeared phoney to me singing songs that sounded like they were from Memphis.

This morning The Duke Box Discs 7 & 8....

I just ordered it , this could be true . I ordered the Gram Parsons Complete Reprise sessions from best buy last summer for $14 total . Which i couldn't find at that price anywhere.

I watched the whole game Dice-K was VERY IMPRESSIVE !!! They might not be the toughest lineup he'll face (Sweeney and Grudzlienak got the day off) but Dice was indeed very impressive. So many weapons - and much better command, despite the temperatures, compared to his last two spring starts. Talk about drinking the Kool-Aid - I think I've downed a whole keg of the Dice-K flavor! Dan , did you see the post game show ? Eck was beaming , He couldn't get over the fact that Dice K pulled a Forkball out of his pocket ( those are his word's) late in the game . you can say it was only the Royals, but didn't they just beat Schilling. And the Royals starter was just as impressive pitched a heck of a game.

NO WAY. FRESH is all that and more. In fact someone said this is the LP Prince wishes he made , this is probably true ...but more like the Album that inspires him. Back in 94/95 Prince and his band were talking this album up in the music rags and covering a lot of Sly songs . In Time and If you want me to stay are masterpieces . also not far behind Babies makin Babies !!! Skin I'm In !!!..and Que Sera Sera !!!...Frisky is another great song. It's a great album and one of my most played Sly records.

I watched the whole game Dice-K was VERY IMPRESSIVE !!!

No, Pineiro was a starting pitcher who was terrible -- and he looked worse in the pen. His ERA was 6.36 No, he was better in the pen, with an ERA a hair over 4. He also showed better velocity in short stints (93-94) and better results in first innings than later innings. Its a risk, and I'd rather have Timlin and Donnelly as the primary 8th inning guys, but Piniero may surprise some people. Re: Baseball Fans. We all drink our favorite teams Kool-Aid. Well in the pre-game show today Eck said he was very impressed with Pineiro ....so far...and Eck is pretty honest . He was kind of all over Schill the other day.

Pineiro looked good last night ......didn't he finish strong last year as a reliever for the Mariners?

Yeah, and I was all ready to sign up for Game Day Audio to listen in when I saw an ad that DirecTV is running an Extra Innings free preview now until April 8. Caught the last 8 innings of last night's game (Beckett was just OK, I'm going to cut him slack that he had trouble with his grip in the cold and that's the reason he walked so many and ran his pitch count up so high) and now I'm counting down the hours to the Big Debut. In this kind of cold, I'd expect Dice to really dominate as long as he commands. Hopefully he's over the bit of dead arm that hurt his control his last two starts. I will tell ya what looked good last night was the bullpen......everyone on sports radio has questioned the pen , BUT i think this is an area that Theo has done well. JC Romero looked very dominating last night.

$39.99 pre-order on the best buy website , i guess the stores will be $49.99 . maybe i will pre-order.....

How about the Baby formerly known as Metallica .

Dice K on the mound today .......suppose to be very cold in KC !
