The Who Sell Out - Deluxe Editions, 2021If I have the old 2009 two-cd deluxe edition of this, is there a reason for me to get the new 2021 two-cd version? Thanks! You get the mono. & stereo album with both sets. On the new release you get original uk mixes of the singles and b sides (I Can See Fir Mikes/Someone’s Coming/The Last Time/Under My Thumb etc) and some different adverts and demos. Is it worth getting? Depends if you’re a completist or not! And four tracks on the 2009 set are not on the new box. So you need to keep that one. IMHO, the incremental value of the new set really isn't very high. So there is no important difference in mastering between the two sets? I’ve actually never heard this album, but I do have the 2009 deluxe set in my collection.

Today on the Facebook CD collector group someone posted a photo of their Hanoi Rocks collection. There were seriously like 3-500 discs.

I have one copy of The Doors debut on CD I bought for $5 and I feel like I have too many copies of it.

As a child of the '60s, I enjoy some Doors music now and then. They didn't suck (except for The Soft Parade), but they weren't that great either. That's where the SHites have it all wrong. I hold The Doors in the same esteem that I have for bands like Paul Revere & The Raiders or The Turtles. It's all fun until someone has to make a big deal about it and do shoot-outs with $240 one-step Berllmans and such.
Little known fact: Jim Morrison was very silly and pretentious and sometimes funny as hell. The music works best when it's not taken seriously and only played occasionally.
Quick poll: "You're Lost, Little Girl" - Song about a creeper... or a meta-commentary of America's involvement in Vietnam?

Quick poll: "You're Lost, Little Girl" - Song about a creeper... or a meta-commentary of America's involvement in Vietnam? Not even written by Morrison. Robby Krieger did a good amount of writing for the group, including the hits. I discovered them at a very young age so they'll always hold a sweet spot for me. And Morrison Hotel is an absolute genius record. I feel like a lot of praise heaped onto LA Woman is more apropos for it. But I guess at the time people were still preoccupied with Morrison's little jimmy or whatever. Queen Of The Highway? Should be a classic rock staple. Peace Frog/Blue Sunday? Nearly all of their best qualities jam packed into 5 perfect minutes. A searing guitar solo, a lovely keyboard solo, Jim singing, crooning, and reciting poetry. The lyrics across the album are filled with such wonderful and illustrative american imagery. I get why their producer left after this album. It was all downhill.
They were somewhat spent already. They had to pad the album out with some older songs. You Make Me Real is a weak song carried by the band's awesome gusto. You can almost be fooled into thinking it's good. Indian Summer makes for a moody penultimate track. Waiting For The Sun is wonderful sonically even if lyrically it barely gets beyond the title and can't compare to the words on all the other songs. None of that matters though. No song outstays its welcome. Even the closer, Maggie M'Gill, is under 5 minutes. The album itself is around 37, making it longer than everything prior bar the debut (which is arguably bloated with some forgettable cheesy 60s pap). LA Woman would go on to be their longest and would do so by dragging and jamming far more than required.
(Other Voices does not deserve to be overlooked either. Everyone else picks up the slack, if not necessarily vocally although I'm not complaining about that either, and makes for a solid entry into the catalog. Full Circle isn't as bad as people say; it's worse.)

Fuck it, I’ll just admit that I think Ships W/Sails, Verdilac and Piano Bird are all great songs, musically speaking.
