JS>BTW, as for the number of CDs they could initially press, pick a
number -
maybe it's 5,000, maybe it's 10,000, I don't know.  My point being that
it would be a do-able thing that they could build on and should be able
to recoup the production costs.  If no album is the alternative...

>But, I said I was going to shutup on this subject...

Why stop when you're making sense?  Had they done this even four years
ago they'd probably be on a second pressing by now.

>You didn't by any chance mean "Live for Me"? It's a fairly soft Buck number.

This is an excellent choice as a radio single.  Buck vox, Buck song.
Heck does radio play anything but Buck songs?

How stupid was Sony?  Check this out...

JS>d) Because the original AoF doesn't sound that bad, it's up to
individual
taste as to whether the extra $$ is worth it.  For the audiophile and
hardcore collector, I'd say yes.  If this treatment had been given to
one
of the first 3 albums, I'd say most definitely.  But, the original AoF
CD ain't too bad, so I suspect that not everyone will feel inclined to
rush out and get this -- I did, and I'm pleased.

Bang between the eyse Mr. Swartz.  Gold AOF is really a collectors item,
better sound, 24 kt, but too expensive for any average fan to salivate
over.  Sony could have made a mint had they a) simply remasted the first
three and sold them as a 3Pak, or b) really showed some balls and turned
those three classic albums into the gold format.  As cheap as I am I
would have swallowed either of these packages in a New York minute, bet
I wouldn't be alone either.


Manuel, thanks for the update on the tours.  Par for the course I'm a
day late dollar short.  Was in LA Wens. night and left thursday
afternoon.  Jet lag is bad but you've made my day with news about Eric.
