I think my question about this got buried in the general 'Why people should like Bill' discussion. This bonus live CD you only get if you happen to live in America - is it any good?Who Shot Sam? wrote:Loads of extras - a bonus CD of b-sides, outtakes, duets, alternate versions, and live material accompanies each remastered studio album, and most of it is outstanding. The second box also has a great live DVD and a bonus live CD if you order through Yep Roc.

By no means essential, but it's a very nice bonus. It's a live performance from Wellington, NZ in 1987.

Good to hear you're hooked verbal. If you're thinking about picking up more of their stuff, I would go in this order:
Overcome by Happiness
Yours, Mine And Ours
The World Won't End
Discover A Lovelier You
I might actually put the Scud Mountain Boys's album Massachusetts ahead of DALY.

Observer Music Monthly gave Jarvis a 5 star rave rating.
I'm playing a Beck compilation a friend gave me who's a big enthusiast (in return for the Tower of Ron, now updated to include 4 songs from 'Time Being'!).
Always admired Beck from a distance but never really got stuck in, other than a tape of Odelay from years ago. He's building up a very interesting catalogue though, I agree. This comp has 20 tracks, 12 of which are from the last 3 records. Is The Information a homage to Martin Amis?

I just picked Endless Wire too. The artwork is appallingly bad......colors and graphics straight off of some lame 1983 "new wave" album. I haven't listened to the album all the way through yet, but it sounds pretty good so far. Better than expected.Bad Ambassador wrote:The Who - Endless Wire
I can't face posting that terrible, terrible artwork. Surprisingly good record, mind. Really well mixed.

Sounds great so far. How can you go wrong with a song like "Grudge F***" ?

Booze soaked, cocaine addled Elton was rockin. Also contains one of his best ever ballady things - "I Feel Like A Bullet (In The Gun Of Robert Ford)"

Yeah, its funny how that works. I think maybe I listened to less artists more often, and maybe when your a teenager it sinks in more, or you concentrate more, younger, fresher ears I guess. But also the quality of production of the recordings of that era is awesome. Those records just SOUND so great. Gus Dudgeon, for instance, was one of the greatest producers ever.doubtless I'll remember every fucking breath and syllable, as I seem to with all music I listened to at that age.
