i also NEED that deluxe ed. of donna summer's 'Bad Girls' if only (again) for the second disc of 12" mixes.
£19.99 is a bit steep tho' for both of these - anyone in the UK seen them (in a shop I mean, not online) for less?

play.com (yes, online, but reliable) has em for circa £12.99, i think...
i get such a hard-on for these double disk special editions... the who live at leeds was my first, or maybe what's going on... the jeff buckley live at sin e is AMAZING as well...

Hot on the heel of their latest albums for years comes a dusting off and expanding of the 'Rumours' - era Fleetwood Mac back-catalogue. Both 'Rumours' and 'Tusk' are remastered and expanded to two-disc sets with loads of unreleased for £12.99 (approx), while The 'Fleetwood Mac' album gets the same treatment over one CD for £8.99. Meanwhile the 'Buckingham Nicks' album is set for its first release on CD, again remastered and expanded, this time for £11.99.More news on the bonus tracks when we get it.
They're on Rhino (yay!) and the release date is listed as September 8th, so the schedule seems to have slipped unfortunately.
Still, great news.

(Russ Terrana did amazing things with the first minute of "I'm Coming Out")
i actually don't know the difference between mixes, &c, but the first minute of this is such a teasing triumph, and the moment it kicks in as satisfying as most anything

yeah! those little start/stop drum fills are godlike

This album might just be my favourite thing that Chic were ever involved with, which is quite something given that their original mixes weren't used. Talking strictly in terms of material, though, I think this is far more consistent than any Chic album, and I love those Chic records as much as anyone.

I was in B & Q the other day and a song was playing and I had to Shazam it and it was "I'm Coming Out".
Even though I know 'Upside Down' from the same record I'd never heard this! The only other possibility is that I had heard it previously but that it didn't register but that doesn't seem likely either
It is pure gold

I've been teaching myself to play bass again (something I had put down for a long time) and spent this weekend playing along to Upside Down as much as I could.
I'm Coming Out is probably my favorite Nile Rodgers guitar riff.

The whole album is solid.

I didn't make the connection on the sample with the biggie track, I'm also ambivalent about the biggie track, good video though. The sample is weird because its central but also not central at all
Maybe I just forgot it. I'll listen to another song from the album next week. I already know Upside Down

“My Old Piano” and “Tenderness” are big jams as well

I will play My Old Piano next week and Tenderness in April

and then you can listen to “Love Hangover” all summer long
