Have two copies of that. LP and double CD.

Great album, stands up well.

I'm very tempted to buy all those lovely Palace Brothers re-issues. Nice soft backed beauties. Anybody know how they sound - having been remastered?

Presumably louder?

I'm happy enough with my Palace Bros vinyl. The original Palace Music comp on CD is a nice sounding disc.

I like it. I've no albums post-87 but do have the two CD singles boxes; the second 89-95 I suppose gives a flavour of the Hogarth era.

 

[Anthony]

Yes and No. Their singles have never really represented them properly. Like many bands.

That's what I was thinking. I like the sound of the originals. Heard a remastered version of one of their quietest songs (We All Us Three Will Ride) and its loudness just didn't sound right.

I've loads of records I have two maybe three copies of,usually because I find another cheap.

What's the best starting point for the Hogarth era - albumwise?

Bottom line - the recorded music industry is dead save for the lucky few who are blowbanging someone with a bit of clout in the pimping choons dept.

The internet shafted us good and proper.This topic has been done to death and its never going back to before.It cant.Not possible.

I still would'nt change it though.Because the same technology that allows music piracy also affords people the opportunity to own the Waves Mercury bundle and make their own hits.

Its all win.I you don't mind a spot of penury,and most musicians can live with that I think.Except the ones that wanna do loads of coke and bang teenagers.

Exactly.

If people don't keep on paying for music then music will stop evolving according to this article

How they explain the biggest sellers all being shite? Seems they've overlooked underground too.

I wish some clever bastard would come up with a way to torrent electricity..then we'd be in clover

Torrents are electricity!

Music can no more stop evolving than we can.

Only yesterday I invented something thats never been done before.To do that I took a load of stuff that has been done before and robbed it and lashed a bit of something something on it and called it new.Thats evolution right there.
And I'm pretty certain most of what I robbed came from torrents of music I never woulda heard if it wasnt for torrents.And Cheap Tricks first lp.

If the Beatles can make Strawberry Fields Forever on a couple of 4-tracks, I think the evolution of music can get by with all the vastly superior, cheap technology we have today.

I think people need to understand that those four track were probably 2 inch tape rather than cassette four tracks like we have these days. Have you seen the price of two inch tape the recorders to use them?

I have not. It's a fair point.

And most people could probably not afford George Martin to produce either.

I was chancing my arm. Didn't think anyone would pull me on it.

They had a team of scientist nerds running around after them making their musical dreams come true. Are the days of beautiful sounding recordings threatened do yiz reckon?

I wish grooveshark gave artists money. I love grooveshark so much I actually pay for it, and so does Mrs. egg_. It's class being able make playlists and see what other people are listening to etc.
