The two guys behind him are grinning City Hall toadies..

@ Isn't 'Reissues of Interest' an oxymoron?

Personally will go for the 2 CD version as you get all the bonus tracks with no vinyl which I can't play anyway.

Thanks for that, pre-ordering the 2 CD version, $20; Not bad.

Guess I already have all the 'last remastered + bonus tracks' CD's but Rag Mama Rag did it for me

Could also go in the Listening to thread, as I played it last night:

Third Ear Band : Alchemy  (Esoteric LP, 2019).

£250 quid....but...30 discs etc.  Surely that really is too much of a good thing, but, bejesus, they were a great band.  I'm still kicking myself for not getting to some of the more recent (partial) reunion things.

Yes it's quite a purchase isn't it.  I don't think I'll be going for it.  I have the albums in some manifestation, and I even sold a copy of Scraping the Barrel boxed set a few years ago on the grounds I didn't listen to it.

Universal are releasing 3 Richard and Linda Thompson albums on LP in March. Preorderable on Amazon.
