No Replacements ????

Not till about 10 years ago.

I live in the past - you know.

I buy stuff becasue it moves me, not becasue some dude says it's the greatist thing since Elvis was Jesus.

I still don't comprehend buying something because of reviews or how many stars or numbers it gets.

It may be shit to you - but for normal americans, it was the shit! Plus, Pat Benatar has better makeup than that cretin from The Cure.

Seriously, outside of U2/The Police and some metal bands, I never listened to 80s music.

Gary,

I knew it wasn't A-man (though he did get his fair share in) because he doesn't have a car or live in New Jersey. Like I said before, it's insignificant--just funny.

I think she was ready to run away with me until she noticed I looked like Jon Fishman.

I know one thing - that Superhero show stinks.

yeah, because they've done nothing but suck since he left.

I don't much care for anything after HTH and TTGG. But - that's just me - I like what I like.

I just recently started listening to Love. I think I recall reading that he was not doing well - that's why the tribute shows were being held.

Just the good ones before Mark left.

Oh really.

I mean all of the official studio albums of course.

I'm sure glad you can't burn my flag.

YIKES!

There also use to be: Night Tracks (TBS), Friday Night Videos (ABC), and Video Jukebox (HBO).

Harp is going that way too - half page ineterviews. I am not buying it anymore.

I gave up on getting any more EC albums a while back - not that crazy about him, actually. But I have went through this with The Who - Live at Leeds, Tommy, and Who's Next have now gotten the deluxe treatment twice . And the same thing is now going on with the first three Santana albums.

Universal Music Enterprises has acquired 11 albums from Elvis Costello's early catalog, with plans to re-release the artist's material via reissues, deluxe editions, compilations and box sets.

The albums acquired begin with Costello's 1977 debut, "My Aim Is True," and continue through "This Year's Model" (1978), "Armed Forces" (1979), "Get Happy!!" (1980), "Almost Blue" (1981), "Trust" (1981), "Imperial Bedroom" (1982), "Punch the Clock" (1983), "Goodbye Cruel World" (1986), "King of America" (1986) and "Blood and Chocolate" (1986).

Although these albums have already been reissued in expanded form by Rykodisc as well as Rhino, UME promises its new versions will be the "definitive reissues." The company also plans to produce limited edition releases for its Hip-O Select imprint, DVDs of videos and concerts and usher Costello's music into new formats such as ringtones.

"A Pekingese in a tuxedo could sell you 'My Aim Is True,' you know," Costello told Billboard in May 2001, when the Rhino reissue campaign launched. "When you've got a record that maybe didn't reach its audience in its time, you have to use a bit of imagination in the way that you present it, to make it seem as if it might be worth investigating now."

Costello just wrapped a tour with Allen Toussaint in support of their collaborative Verve Forecast album, "The River in Reverse." He will also be heard singing "Little Boxes," the theme song for the Showtime series "Weeds," on its Aug. 14 season premiere. The track will be sung by a different artist during each episode, including Englebert Humperdinck, Death Cab For Cutie, Ozomatli and Regina Spektor.

It use to be that bands would redo songs when they went from say an indie release - to a major label release. I think Blue Earth was never ment to be an album - but was rather a collection of demos that was spruced up. I would think that when songs were picked for HTH - it was viewed as one of the better ones among the old demos - I may not have the story right - I am sure someone on here knows the scoop.

Sometimes, I forget where I am.

The movie use to be up on Google Video - I don't think it is anymore. I am sure it is out there to be had somewhere. I have seen it many times - the public library here where I live has it on VHS. This was considered there first failure in a way - and was really the start of Paul trying to take over. Magical Mystery Tour was his idea - his rip-off of Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters bit, really. How is it that everyone does not own all The Beatle albums already?

Man you GOTTA hear the David Nelson Band's take on this tune...it RULES!!

 

I think with this record the covers other people have done w/ the songs is probably the most important aspect of it.

Safely outside my top 10 (I probably have 30-35 LPs of Bob)..not likely to change

Better yet, Faces version.

Today, I saw Rush, one of those idiots from The Barenaked Ladies, and that dude with the pop bottle glasses from The Trailer Park Boys play Closer To The Heart.
