Have you ever heard the bootleg remastering of the Beatles albums on CD?

Is it true they used higher generation master tapes for the vinyl rather than the official CDs?

I haven't heard them, no. I would be suprised if first generation tapes were not used for the cds, although when you consider it was 18 years ago, when people were putting all sorts of poor cd masters out (Led zeppelin being a good example here, the original cds were terrible apparently, until Jimmy Page personally remastered them in the mid 90s) Another bad example of cd mastering were the original Queen cds which suffered from poor track separation. It was ok to play the albums start to finish, but if picking individual tracks out, you were liable to hear the end of the previous track, or miss out the beginning of the track you wanted.

Those early Queen CDs did indeed have lazy track marking... and I'm not sure it has been 100% corrected on the newer ones (still over 10 years old)

That's one band who need a decent ~deluxe~ reissue programme.

...even the US issues with extra tracks had section of music missing!

I've just seen this on eBay...



Unfortunately the seller doesn't list the tracks can you be of help please?

BTW Great reading about the Beatles albums, It's always amazed me how the greatest band in the world has the lousiest CDs.


London Bye Ta-Ta...

Damn... the photo is just too bad to zoom in on the track list.

Eastern European Deram selection?

Bootleg of Haddon Hall stuff?

Ardent told me this..

TO MEET BOWIE
Label & nr: JOY RECORDS 1000 SS 10 A/B
Cover: printed full colour cover Records: 1 LP Released: 1982
Venue: outtakes, BBC & official versions.
Bonus: coloured vinyl






SONGS: RADIO PROMOTION FOR DAVID LIVE / "HEROES" / 1984 - DODO / YOU´RE HOLDING ME DOWN / A LADD IN VEIN / ROUND AND ROUND / WAITING FOR THE MAN / LOVE YOU TILL TUESDAY / BABY LOVES THAT WAY / LITTLE DRUMMER BOY / "HEROES".

COMMENTS: The discs came with or without printed labels, as well as with different ground colours on the cover. These colours are blue or green. "HEROES" is a silly home made mix. YOU'RE HOLDING ME DOWN has nothing to do with Bowie, except that it was (maybe) recorded by his former group, The King Bees! 1984- DODO / A LADD IN VEIN / LOVE YOU TILL TUESDAY are all outtakes. WAITING FOR THE MAN IS FROM BBC 1970. The rest of the songs are official versions. The other version of "HEROES" is from A Merry Olde Christmas TV Show 1977.

Hmmm... quite nice. Certainly odd!

Thanks Alan and like Russell I find it quite an oddity and wouldn't mind owning it as a curiosity item.


London Bye Ta-Ta...

Can anybody please explain this release to me without being patronising please?





I have never seen or heard about this before...

Just what it says on the tin. It is a third party remix, a bit like what appeared on the Club Bowie CD. That is, remixes by a club dj.
