I wish I could say the same about "Return to the Dark Side of the Moon", a tribute album which is a track-for-track version of the original. Even with an impressive lineup (including Bruford, Wakeman & Howe, Edgar Winter, Adrian Belew & Aynsley Dunbar) it pretty much sucks. I think I've got as many versions of Dark Side of the Moon as I have cameras - the original 12" vinyl, the half-speed-mastered version, both of the above on CD, the 30-year anniversary SACD, and of course the second disc of Pulse. Yep - six. That matches the two MXs, the Super Program, the PZ-1p, the MZ-S, and the *ist-D. I wonder if Roger Waters will release an album of the tour? That would keep parity when I pick up a K10D. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
