All those Purple Chick collections are highly recommended. Their sole limitation is that they're based on the pre-remasters of a few years ago.

I went through a phase (pre-remasters) where I picked up as many needle drops as I could (mostly DESS) and even though I like the official remasters - I sometimes prefer the DESS versions.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Sep 2018, 1:19pmAll those Purple Chick collections are highly recommended.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
I have ton of those Beatles boots from when Dimeadozen allowed them. That said, have I ever listened to the complete Get Back sessions? Good lord, no. But I'm glad to have it all stored away for when some writer makes reference to a particular song on this date or that.WestwayKid wrote: ↑25 Sep 2018, 2:11pmI went through a phase (pre-remasters) where I picked up as many needle drops as I could (mostly DESS) and even though I like the official remasters - I sometimes prefer the DESS versions.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Sep 2018, 1:19pmAll those Purple Chick collections are highly recommended.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
Is anybody actually planning on getting that White Album Super DLX? I got the Pepper's one and I barely even look at it. As a completist I feel it's my responsibility to my collection to pick it up, but it's likely to just take up space after the initial listen.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
I will be acquiring a copy, yes, tho because of the many, many, many Beatles boots out there—including the aforementioned Purple Chick releases—there's nothing on it I haven't heard before.

I think I'm going to pass. It's always tempting - but I'm thinking I probably wouldn't play it enough to justify the purchase. Not that I don't like the White Album - but I already have several versions.

John Lennon would have been 78 today. Wow.

I'm thinking of Rutles songs instead.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
The advance remix of Back In the USSR sounds pretty fucking great. Listen to those claps on the last verses. And the drums are centred! I might get this even though it's not one of my favourite Beatles albums...
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I thought the sound was great on the Pepper remix. When I get round to listening to Pepper again that will be the version I choose.

I'm not even hesitating for a moment getting this Whit Album Deluxe. Not only do we get a remix, which was fucking great for SP but we get the Esther demos in stereo. How can you not want this?

Because I have limited physical space to house it, and if I only keep a digital version, I'll never listen to it.coffeepotman wrote: ↑10 Oct 2018, 7:47amI'm not even hesitating for a moment getting this Whit Album Deluxe.
