What is there to Deluxe? They've done the entire catalog in a box thing at least twice, I think. I've heard some of Sting's demos that are floating around, and they're absolutely nothing to get overly interested, let alone excited, about. They could trot out the individual albums again with the associated B sides tacked on. But even those would be kinda underwhelming.
I will say as someone who isn't overly concerned about things being ultra-pristine, for a long time the catalog that was out there sounded like total crap. Whenever that last batch of remasters was finally got things a little better. But I think part of the problem is those first three albums were/are never gonna sound all that shit hot from a sonic perspective anyway.
Sorry, the correct answer was "they are up my ass" No, I'm fully aware that that was the "correct" answer you were seeking. I just chose to go the other way with it.
Maybe it confused you because I didn't preface it with that little "Shite on" thing you peoples do. Mainly because a) I would need to be one to begin with, and to paraphrase Lester Bangs, b) whoozese azzoles tryina fool?

I know The Police because it was easy to find all five of their albums in discount bins when I was young. I eye them pretty hard these days whenever it's time to thin out the hard drive.

Somebody please tell me he's talking about me. I can feel I'm collecting a set.
But then again, I mean - in this case, I do understand it. Who the hell can be bothered with my bullshit when there are hours a day to spend reading and posting about idiots?

I've never massively got into The Police although I actively sought out a copy of the Nothing Achieving single two or three years back. Picked up Reggatta de Blanc and that badge shaped disc in a batch of records a few years back too. Police on 7" may be largely bargain bucket to buy and perhaps before vinyl became more popular again so did some of the albums but in the UK at least the market has changed. I hardly ever see Synchronicity on vinyl in proper record shops. It's normally the second and third albums and they are easy to sell in nice condition.

Fucking hell, who is serious about this? Who didn't grow up buying Rock Records of Questionable Quality (RROQQs)?
I still think Synchronicity sounds okay. How about that? Put that on at your next party. But try to follow up with something cool like Funkadelic Maggot Brain or a good comp of Huey "Piano" Smith.

Who the hell can be bothered with my bullshit when there are hours a day to spend reading and posting about idiots? You are coming across like a real piece of shit. I mean that in a nice way of course. It is both hysterical and telling (and honestly, a wee bit depressing in a broader sense) that some of you actually seem to think that I - or anybody, for that matter - could or would give an actual flying fuck about "being noticed" or how they might be "coming across" in the general context of a basically 3rd grade level (at best), "Yeah, we're just fucking stupid Beatards, but not as stupid as THOSE fucking stupid Beatards are!" forum.
The room/system thread, which is how I first bumped into this little exercise in projection, has some genuinely funny stuff in it. 95% of the rest of this place is, as I mentioned elsewhere, merely same house/different floor, idiotic musings and textual turds comparable to those from the "mothership". And when one of those morons who thinks you guys are just "mean" occasionally comes over to try and engage, well, duh, they're always going to be easy enough to swat away. But when somebody from the "outside" happens to peek in, taps you on the shoulder and says, "Uh...you ARE kidding with this some of this shit, right?" - it would seem that certain people here can't really handle that all that well.
And yeah, I think when I've brought this up before I've gotten a few sheepish, "Oh sure, we're totally cognizant of all that" shrugs. Well...in a few very obvious, specific cases - color me skeptical. Preferably around the edges with a green felt-tipped pen. But 50,000,000 posts about dopes (and an absolute industry nobody) not worth two seconds of anybody's time can't be wrong - or can they?
But like I said - my window of availability for this nonsense is closing, so out of it I jump. (Without any help from liquor, even...) And just remember - if I miss you half as much as you do me, you'll miss me twice as much I do you. Which - in a nice way, of course - kinda gets as close to the bone as it can get, don't it?

I don't know how I'll make it through the next week now I've heard this. Lots of sads. |
