ANYWAY, big star sound-wise, awesome. their transfer of the masters is impeccable. so deep and rich. i highly recommend it. i think this is the 3rd or 4th variation of 3rd that i have owned and hopefully this will be it. just based on this, i might shell out for the metal box reissue. the chris bell sounds great too, but it has been a long time since i have heard the ryko cd of that stuff so it's harder for me to make a comparison between the two.
as far as saying nice things about CDs goes, i have said before and i will say again, that the original twofer CD of the first two Big Star albums - american version, dunno about other countries - is STILL all these years later one of the best sounding CDs that i own. that thing is a wonder! amazing sound. you could use that thing as a reference disc at hi-fi stores. and i rarely can say that about cd reissues of old analog stuff.

If this means anything to ya, from what I understand, the Chris Bell LP is the exact same master as the Rykodisc CD. The original master tapes for this stuff are either lost or no longer exist.

i've been meaning to ask -- with records shelved properly at home, what is the point of those plastic baggies? they annoy me and get in the way, so i don't use them. it's not like i'm ever flipping through things super fast or cramming albums together.
can someone convince me of their worth?

Bought a copy of Sound of Impact last week, the Big Black semi-boot that Walls Have Ears put out way back when -- numbered, with booklet, woo hoo. Paid too much (c. $30), but I've always wanted a copy, and this is only the second or third I've seen since it came out.
Sounds great. A good deal better than Pigpile. But MAN! is Steve's between-song banter dorky. Clam it cheese, and play another song.

herbie mann - reggae (1974. with albert lee and mick taylor! it is by far the best herbie mann/mick taylor/albert lee reggae album that i own.)
the savage rose - your daily gift (via ebay. original pressing on gregar records. an RCA affiliate.)
the funky kings - s/t (1976. not really funky. produced by paul rothchild. featured jules shear. featured the tune "slow dancing". but who had the hit with slow dancing? it wasn't these guys. was it? olivia newton john? someone.)
cowboy - 5'll getcha ten (superior country-rock on capricorn! really really good. and i have cowboy's 1977 capricorn album, so i know from cowboy. this one is way better. this one is from 1971. just solid in every way.)
irene reid - two of us (nice soulful stuff from 1976 on t.k. subsidiary glades. irene made a pretty well-regarded jazz/standards album in the 60's. this one isn't as well known, but it's very nice.)
the persuasions - we came to play
the farm - spartacus (hah! it was a dollar. i made it thru most of side one. i thought of gareth.)
Victory - s/t (debut by german scorpions-esque cockrockers.)
ray simpson - tiger love (1978. love the song "slinky". ashford & simpson's lawyer/manager died here on the island and i am still coming across stuff from his house at the record store. most of it sealed and a dollar.)
stein ingebrigtsen - stein (70's swedish pop. nice swedish-language cover of rhinestone cowboy.)
der tpk - harmful emotions (new on siltbreeze. 500 copies. awesome stuff. tpk is short for teenage panzer korps.)
ghost - in stormy nights (double vinyl. different track order from the cd and a vinyl only track that is a weird mix of their cromagnon cover. drag city vinyl is always good.)
greezy wheels - radio radials (on london from 1976. goofy/folk/country/fiddle/rock/hippie stuff.)
west, bruce, & laing - why dontcha (needed this! thank you island of plenty!)
gas mask - their first album (great cover. forgettable horn rock a la blood sweat & tears.)
i traded in crap CDs, so i paid about 20 bucks for this stuff. minus the savage rose which i bought on ebay whilst drunk.

Terence – “An Eye For An Ear” – It’s almost painful for me to put Terence on a tape and not have the song be “Fool Amid The Traffic”, you know what I mean? I mean, you can see my predicament, right? Wait, what do you mean you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about? Fool has it all! The wail of that fuzz lead! If you ate that song you would not only be stronger, faster, and brighter, you would feel from your scalp to your fingertips to your toes a revelatory sense of permanence and rock-hard glow of solidity that could put Mount Everest to shame. But “An Eye For An Ear” need not step to the back for any song. It sings of itself mightily from the first blast of drums, horns (Ah, the horns. My trail of breadcrumbs has transformed itself into a trail of spit shaken from the valve of a horn. Those brass sections are reclaiming their place in the story of the rock and the roll. Their shrill bravado masking the fear that they will be forgotten…), and piercing six-string that perfectly accompany Terence’s blustery conviction that the world…the world is what, Terence?...That the world is…Going. Up. In. Flames.

Jimmy Campbell – “In My Room” – I don’t even know if Jimmy’s Half Baked album on Vertigo is rated, let alone under or over or sidewaysdownrated by Mojologically-inclined historians of post-mod squad baroque pop, and I don’t really know if there is anything I can do –singlehandedly- to remedy this situation, nor do I know whether I even feel up to the task. My new motto, when I’m in my cups, is: “Screw it. I’ve got a copy.” Let them eat Badfinger. Or Eric Carmen. Or Al Stewart for all I care. I dig and I dig until I can’t dig anymore. I climb thru windows. I get down on my knees. I go thru the mold and muck of forgotten cellars. I reach out and up. My hands -literally- bleeding to find a piece of that sweet soothing sound that my dreams are not only infested with, soaked in, trembling within, but that my very soul requires to make light of the fear-crazed eyes I have seen in the past. In hospital beds. On the streets. In the mirror. “In My Room” is great. And not to be confused with Fatty Sandbox’s pity party of the same name.

Charley D. And Milo – “Om Sweet Om” – If you mainline The Notorious Byrd Brothers into the vein marked “Precious Cargo” on a thrice-monthly basis cuz dirty feet and sun-kissed domes connect you to your fresh-faced id and remind you that the here is now and possibility is only another word for sofa, then you probably already own the Charley D. And Milo album. It’s next-level growth-chart stuff and reason enough to inhale/exhale your way thru jams traffic and romantic.
