bands from a while ago that you've rediscovered

[Rhythm Thief]

It sounds like a cheaply recorded mid 80s indie album should.
Shouldn't worries about sound quality be left to Pink Floyd obsessives with £5k stereo systems?

Indeed. It's Half Man Half Biscuit, not Benjamin Britten.

Dr Feelgood via their Down by the Jetty Collectors edition.

Simon and Garfunkel via The Essential Collection.

Warren Zevon via The Best Of

All purchased on-line for i pod download and playing again. My record deck packed-up ages ago so I have been refreshing my memory on old preferences by purchasing compilations.

I've been wanting to order Back in the DHSS too, but heard that the sound quality on the CD was terrible. Have you found that a problem?

Ah. I'm listening to it now. On a cheap and battered portable stereo covered in building dust. It sounds just as God intended it to.

 

[laurence]

did anyone buy HMHB for the quality????

 

[mickle]

Climax Blues Band, The B52s, Rush (Ive had 'A farewell to Kings' on every day for weeks!) The Motels.

Don't you think that a remixed, remastered Dobly 5.1 re-release of HMHB would, in some strange way, be an insult?

it'd be an outrage. there is no place in the world for such things.

Harsh, but fair!

I've just 'rediscovered' Led Zeppelin. Awesome!!! I was just a wee snapper when they were at their pinnacle in the early-mid 70s. Downloaded 'Mothership' onto my Ipod a couple of weeks ago and have listened to it a lot over the last 2 weeks.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I was reminded a few months back (actually by Kirstie) just how awesome Fela Kuti was...

 

[Chuffy]

The Pogues. A band I sort of knew I liked but had never really heard much by (apart from the obvious). I laid grubby hands on a copy of Red Roses For Me a few weeks ago. Chuffin' marvellous.
Another back catalogue Amazon trawl beckons...

re

Saxon and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

 

[Lardyboy]

Been rediscovering the gems that were on the Trojan label.

Talk Talk - especially "Colour of Spring" and "Spirit of Eden"

The Triffids - very underrated Aussie band.

and i've just found it on itunes </dance round room stupidly>

[bonj2]
