I bought a sealed copy from Amazon in July 2011 for £207 , so I'd assume the release price in 2010 was below that , someone will know

The production cost of a like for like reissue , depending on the volume being produced,could be stratospheric , given all the posters/ re-printed first piano receipt included first time


I seem to remember being told (by someone with very close links to AB who put it together) that every copy lost money...but don't take that as gospel.

How much was it the last time around ? (To almost quote a Sandy song)

I might go for it this time,  if they rectify the faults it was prone to last time- broken trays etc.

Not unexpected but Towersey have just announced this year will be their last :-(


That's sad.


Might actually help Cropredy next year though - less competition for the folk scene.

Robert Beam we are releasing the 19 CD box , it’s the big one. I will definitely post it on this page when I have more information

Thanks, Paul.  No idea why I couldn't see that but I couldn't.  I'll be really interested to see what price these go out at.  If it's literally identical to the previous release I'll definitely be in.  In the meantime I wonder if there will be a firesale of the existing copies for sale.  I actually know of someone who paid £850 for one only 7 months ago.  Ouch.


There's a still sealed one on Discogs for £150 less than that at the mo.


There's also one for £1973.  I'm not sure what this proves (apart from the fact none of them will be selling to anybody who is aware of this news) Wink Grin

There were some hideous 'CSNY' albums around then...CSNY's American Dream, Stills' Right by You, Nash's Innocent Eyes, Neil's Landing on Water etc etc etc.  Ghastly, with the odd nice song drowning in over production and nasty keyboards...


American Dream was one of those albums you desperately wanted to like because it was the four of them back together after Crosby's time in prison but you came to realise that it was impossible for them to recapture the magic of Deja Vu and accept it for what it was. But the one standout track for me was Crosby's Compass.



American Dream is the album that introduced me to the world of CSNY. I was in Garon Records, Oxford, circa 1990 and it was being played in the background. Thought that it was an excellent slab of AOR and bought it on the spot. If I'd known anything about the band's past, I might have been non-plussed about the updated sound but happily, I was able to listen without the weight of history colouring my experience and I still enjoy it all these years later.

Big fan of most of their music, these days, individually and collectively.

I like Joni's first three albums but she moved away from my sort of thing after that.


But Blue was her fourth. Surely you don't consider that one an outlier?

Jules




I'm not overly keen Blue although I'm aware it's supposed to be a classic.


I find it quite bizarre that anybody could like the first three albums but be not overly keen on the fourth.  It's almost literally the conclusion (most would say zenith) of that particular body of work.


It's quite straight forward really. I like the majority of songs on the first three albums but I don't get very much enjoyment from the ones on Blue.
