Taper's Section (November 30 - December 6, 2009)

The live compilation is almost all Joe Lynn Turner, yes? I never cared for the hit single era of Rainbow.

I ordered this today: Beatles Gear (book). Is this it:

No, we didn't have time to get up there. Maybe I will make it next time.

I have a vague memory of having several of these: Chu-Bops Bubble Gum Beatles Miniature Album Collection

The Movie Box 1981-2007 It's nice to see that Rhino has finally done something new with their website.

Cozy Powell (great drummer) I forget to mention the live Rainbow album - On Stage.

I'd say my favorite work of his was the first two Sabbath albums he was on (Heaven and Hell and The Mob Rules), and the first two Rainbow albums (Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and Rising). I recall that Holy Diver was a quite a popular album when I was in the 11th grade. It is alright I guess.

I think all of them did some work on some of those early Ringo solo albums. But - I don't know of a session when they were all in the studio together. I think it was by way of demos, or coming in and guesting on a song.

Amazon has some cds on sale also (and some box sets.)

I have only ever ordered cds from Amazon, since there are no longer record stores where I live. It looks like I need to learn to look elsewhere. Thanks again.

I ordered it. Thanks for the information. I have been after that cd for a while. The other one I mentioned has a really nice book in it, this one does also. (40 some pages).

That is what I was wondering - if it is a safe site.

That is it. What is the deal with that site?

Speaking of Fleetwood Mac, I once found a copy of the Buckingham-Nicks album in a Salvation Army. Some time ago, I was reading about a Led Zeppelin bootleg, that was housed in a book with photos. I once had a chance to buy it for 40 bucks (in the early 1990s) and I did not buy it. I think it goes for a lot more than that now. I can't recall the name of it. It may have been: Antrabata´s Studio Sessions Box Set. I take it Amazon is trying to give iTunes a run for its money. Is that right?

I use to find treasures like that at the mall, at some chain record store. Every Christmas they would have a bin of stuff they wanted to get rid of - for 5 or 10 dollars. I found 200 Motels (VHS), and a Moby Grape cd there. This was pre-internet. Of course, the store is long since gone. It has been a long time since I had a place to go and find such things.

That's always a nice thing. The cd I am looking for is this: The Vaudeville Years of Fleetwood Mac: 1968 to 1970 I have Mp3s of the tracks (I am grateful for that), but I want the real deal. What is funny to me, is that if you look on the page for the cd above, you will see a listing for Fleetwood Mac: Showbiz Blues 1968-1970. It is 20 bucks. I have that one, and that is what I paid for it. Why on earth is the companion to that set going for so much money? These sort of things boggle the mind.

I agree - some people can tell the difference in sound. This is particularity noticeable depending on the bit rate, and what was used to rip/create the Mp3 files. I think the bit rate of Amazon's Mp3 files are 256. I don't know how they get the files though. I suppose that is nice that they offer such files for a low price, but I am still not willing to pay for Mp3 files. I don't mess with Mp3 files unless it is the only way I can get a song, or album (usually something that is out of print, found on a blog somewhere). It would be nice if they sold FLAC files. I suppose that may happen someday

ABC Sets Lost Premiere Date

There is some pretty good information on the Wikipedia page for Free As A Bird

It's no big deal. I doubt I've ever heard a dB's song, I just recall seeing the news of a reunion somewhere. Hell, J Mascis still bad mouths Murph (from time to time), and they are back together, so anything is possible.

The dBs played some shows a couple of years ago. The New Riders of The Purple Sage are touring right now. I think ? and The Mysterians are still at it. I think a lot of bands get together in public or private (Buffalo Springfield) at some point down the road. How many of the original bands members particulate, or are still around, or want to participate is a different story. There are of course, several old bands now hiring sound a-like players to stand-in for departed members. I got here by way of Uncle Tupelo, and would love to see them play together. Whether it ever happens is up to them

Ringo Starr recruits Paul McCartney on new album

I think that was on due to the re-make. I didn't see any of the re-make though. The Prisoner was recently re-made also. I have always liked The Outer Limits better than The Twilight Zone (from a sci-fi point of view).
