Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Just listened to the 2009 remaster of Something alongside this new 2019 remix. Gotta say, I prefer the 2009 remaster.

First time ever! Wow.... Dire Straits was such an integral part of my youth. I think they were my favourite band at one point; in the last part of my childhood years, pre-adolescence and pre-prog rock obsession. These days, I'm not as keen, although I appreciate the accesibility of it all. And LOVE OVER GOLD still remains a masterpiece album, all these years later.

It was said that Baker was the "template" for "harder" rock drummers (Bonzo; Peart; Taylor, etc.). Cream's 2005 RAH concert DVD is fantastic. It's three older guys, with nothing to prove, just kicking back, and having a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,529 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 " the 50th anniversary release on 27 September release of The Beatles’ Abbey Road album in a suite of new editions. This returned the album to chart summits around the world, including in the UK, where Abbey Road reclaimed the No. 1 position after 49 years and 252 days. The achievement broke The Beatles’ own Guinness World Record previously held by Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which went back to No. 1 in June 2017, following its own 50th anniversary reissue, after 49 years and 125 days. " Lol. Nice! I heard Abbey Road for the first time in full last Wednesday btw, and I must've listened to it at least 20 times since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
