No cos i wont entertain new Vinyl releases. I have the present ELP 2 CD sets but never play them, all my Prog CD's are sealed up in bags & chucked in the spare room where all the junk resides.
Utterly not convincing at all any CD release that comes out. The only way to listen is 1st issue Vinyl.

Shame you won't give it a try. It's a cracker, and very well presented too.

Other than the one I got during the first week of release you mean? The UK 1st issues were pressing in the USA, The label has a USA Cat number. The sleeve has the UK cat number. LP is in a Atlantic advertisement paper sleeve. The record were pressed by SRC should say this on the dead wax |

I think I've heard all this shit somewhere before, and it's not completely correct. I think SOME U.S. pressings were filtered in to cope with the expected launch demand.
Mine's K53501 label (Made in the UK), K53501-A5 and B3 in the wax, and a Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve.

Hold your horses. It might not be my 'absolute' original. Let me have a look around.

Make sure you hang on to them for when you come around full circle for the millionth time, and decide yet again that CD's are the dogs bollocks after all.

That set is a bit steep considering you aren't likely to listen to it all more than once. I'm with Andre here as I don't like remixes with exception of a lot of Steve Wilson's work. So this vinyl isn't AAA is it? I only have BSS on CD and it appears to be from 2011 with lots of bonus tracks. Interesting album but it's a bit of a mess stylistically to be honest. For a modern CD it sounds pretty good to me. |

I have a Victory Records CD of BSS and it sounds absolutely superb and just as tinselly as the band claimed it should sound (Barry Diament filtered the hf excesses out in ignorance on the original CD imo). No idea what the extra-tracks version is like, but hopefully the same.
