ANd yes, I always thought it was cute when artists would name the sides of their albums. R.E.M. always did this (as I own most of their tapes) and thought Kate Bush's "Hounds Of Love" benefitted from being on vinyl?
Some of my favorite short albums include:
Nashville Skyline-Bob Dylan
12 Songs by Randy Newman
Paris 1919 by John Cale..and the list goes onward...
Blair
NP: The Saxophone Song by Kate Bush
thread #2 the vinyl issue am i the only one that thinks cds are too long and numbing? how i miss the old days of a side 1 and side 2 (and i've never heard it adressed anywhere) doesnt anyone miss the city side/sea side chapters of song to a seagull? doesnt anyone think its exciting to end a side with hejira and start another with sharon? these subtlties are totally lost now with cds.and while i don't agree that ticks and pops add much i've always kept my lps meticulously clean and they still soung GREAT (i have all of joni on vinyl thru chalk mark) and yes, vinyl does sound warmer and better. at least on hissing and hejira. and court and spark. they digitised those poor things to death. what they always strip out on those remixed cds IS THE SOUND OF THE STUDIO. and sometimes the cohesion of each track as a whole. they just love to take out any echo or reverb. lastly what about the freakin art of the jackets? and the lyrics? the beautiful photos on hejira & don juan the inner gatefilds of roses and hissing all lost on those crummy tissue paper thin cd booklets. yuck thanks for listening xxx walt The most personalized portal on the Web!
