It's really amusing reading the liner notes where they talk about inventing "prepared piano" despite the album (an early one of theirs) being from the late 50s while John Cage had already been composing for prepared piano since at least 1940. My first concert, BTW, was The Jackson 5 in the Fall of 1971.

tino, how is that 3-CD version of 'Village Green'? Probably one of my 10 favorite records of all time.

I presume the extra CDs include the mono mix, some tasty outtakes (some of which might have shown up on 'The Great Lost Kinks Album'), some B-sides, and... perhaps... the alternate stereo mix of the album released with a different cover in Sweden and other territories... ???

Nice snowstorm brewing here in NYC. They're predicting 6-10 inches with more tomorrow. I like!!!

we're supposed to get 10-15, it just started snowing about a half-hour ago.. sweet!

The new edition is definitely fantastic. I'm not sure what the overlap is with the "Great Lost Kinks Album" (I think the review in Ugly Things outlines it, can't remember though)

Anyway, disc 1 has the stereo album in full, plus "Mr. Songbird," "Days," "Do You Remember Walter" (original stereo mix) and "People Take Pictures of Each Other" (original stereo mix).

Disc 2 is the mono album mix plus mono versions of "Days," "Mr. Songbird," "Polly," "Wonderboy," "Berkeley Mews,", and "Village Green" (no strings).

Disc 3 is all the rarities:
Village Green (Orchestra Overdub)
Misty Water (Stereo)
Berkeley Mews (Stereo)
Easy Come, There You Went (Stereo)
Polly (Stereo)
Animal Farm (Alternate Stereo Mix)
Phenomenal Cat (Mono Instrumental)
Johnny Thunder (Stereo Remix)
Did You See His Name
Mick Avory's Underpants
Lavender Hill
Rosemary Rose
Wonderboy (Stereo)
Spotty Grotty Anna
Where Did My Spring Go?
Groovy Movies
Creeping Jean
King Kong
Misty Water (Mono)
Do You Remember Walter (BBC Session Remix)
Animal Farm (BBC Session Remix)
Days (BBC Session Remix)

I definitely recommend it. The packaging is wonderful too, and the booklet has some nice stuff in it.

[Patrick]

Mick Avory's Underpants huh... scary!!!

Now they're saying 12-24 inches in the New York City region, full-blown blizzard.

I found mine at a local HMV.

[johansen smith]

CD Universe sells it for about $27, not a bad price considering it doesn't have US Distribution yet.

I found it at Amoeba in San Francisco for $19.

[Thor]

Hmm, I can't decide whether to post in Paul's listening thread or Maximo's.

[Paul]

I think Maximo's should be taken more literally, as in the cd that's in your cd player right this moment.

In my case, that's the new Electric Six album, Señor Smoke (which is frankly not as good as their first album).

[Maximo]

As of today, my player now has:

The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat
Silkworm - It'll Be Cool
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde
Broken Social Scene - Feel Good Lost

i listened to the three songs on the malarkies website (http://www.themalarkies.com/) a long time ago when you mentioned them in some other thread. is the rest of their album as good as those songs ('smokejumper', 'laughter', and 'some songs').

[Maximo]

Yes! I highly recommend all of their stuff. The first time I saw them, I thought they were pleasant. The second, though, I really enjoyed them and bought everything they had with them (three CDs and a split 7" with k.). 10,000 Back Doors, the album those three songs are from, was my favorite album of 2002.

[vesper]

cool, i'll probably buy it in the next couple weeks.

What is this crooked rain reissue? Do I need to pick it up if I already have the first?

not as essential as the 'slanted' reissue, but yes. the pavement section (http://www.matadorrecords.com/pavement/) of the matador site has details.

[Wallerton]

Echo and the Bunnymen Ocean Rain

Yes, it's shameful that I own this on CD (and the original Sire--not the Rhino reissue--at that) instead of vinyl. But, fuck. What an album.

[otto midnight]

in the discman on the el tonight- "oh inverted world" - the shins
in the computer "all hail west texas"- mountain goats
in the stereo at work- "gentley down the stream"- come

all good in their own ways.

Well I don't have a CD player (outside my computer, at least) but here's what would be in it now if I did:

1. The Bravery - Unconditional
2. Dungen - Ta Det Lugnt (awesome Swedish psych-rock... I recommend highly!)
3. The New Pornographers - Electric Version (it's "fruity"... but WHY can't I get it out of my head?)
4. Black Cab - Altamont Diaries
5. Belle and Sebastian - The Boy with the Arab Strap
6. P.G. Six

ripped the last two off my LPs last night, and they're the best sounding ones yet. I'm slowly figuring out all the little things I can do to make the recordings sound as good as they can considering the means..

The reissue has some killer (and not so killer) outtakes on it. There's an early, alternate version of the killing moon which is fantastic, and a sitar laden cover of all you need is love which isin't.

the total awesomeness of this album should never be underestimated.

I should go listen to it right now, in fact...

[Thor]

ohhh goody, a fellow fan. I'm listening to it now actually... such an incredible album. Just incredible.

legend goes they dragged mattresses into the studio, laid down and got wiggy and just recorded it.. and it sure sounds like it.

the spacemen drone is *the* shit.

what's unfortunate is that i didn't know it very well until just the past couple years. so i saw spiritualized play "take me to the other side" - twice in fact - and just didn't appreciate the moment.

[tinobeat]

Do you have the newer Forged Prescriptions 2CD?

fuckin essential if you love spacemen and especially if you love that album. Obviously a pile of redundancies between the two, but its amazing...

yeah, those guys solved the fuckin puzzle. my favorite description that I've read of them is "3 chords are great, two chords are better, 1 chord is best."

Tormato? For real?

I was a big Yes fan in my younger days, and have recently rediscovered them. But those later records like 'Going For the One' (is that Patrick Moraz's ass btw) and 'Tormato' were always off-limits.

[Paul]

Perhaps an unpopular choice, but Drama is my favorite Yes album. Part prog/part new wave and NO Jon Anderson.

[Thor]

Late reply here..

I do have it, it's awesome, eh? Especially the alternate of Walking with Jesus.

Do you have Dreamweapon? It has the 45 minute drone track "An evening of contemporary sitar music"... it's wonderful. And their live stuff is great.... as a musician, they're possibly my number 1 influence.

I never really gave them a chance 'til the deluxe remasters stared coming out a couple of years ago. I bought the first four when they were released 'cause they were so damn cheap (and 'cause I've always liked "Roundabout" and "Long Distance Runaround") and was stunned by how much I dug 'em. I kept going with the remasters as they came out up through Tormato. I didn't get Drama as I just couldn't see it really being Yes w/o Anderson (despite Paul's comment) and I skipped 90125 'cause I just can't imagine that an album featuring "Owner of a Lonely Heart" can be anything other than utter crap. Feel free to correct me if I am in error, though.

I had some friends in high school that got me into Yes, but I 've gone a long time without listening to them. All I have is the left is the four disc box-set (everything else got sold in a music purge).

I'm going to have to tackle them tonight!
