    The Music is one of the most underrated bands ever... stadium rock in small clubs

    Ah, but there was stuff on that Boy remaster I didn't have. Plus they needed remastering. Plus Boy would have looked lonely without the other 2

    The Radiohead CD's are too new to need remastering and it just smells of label rip-off to me (not sure Radiohead have had anything to do with it).


    Yeah, too soon. What if POP was remastered this year That is way too soon.
  5. Closer To God (Promo CD) - Nine Inch Nails
  6. Aha Shake Heartbreak (Kings of Leon), found it lying around in Tesco for about £4 or soemthing - they had Because Of The Times and the latest one, but after what people have said, I thought I'd go with something a bit earlier first

    Also bought a Best Of The Specials CD/DVD...

    About the KOL, it bought all their albums for a total amount of 25 euros. Cheap as hell really. Only by the Night was the most expensive with 10 euros.
  8. Pop
  9. You'll love it Harry....

    I believe they're not even remastered. They aren't promoted as such anyway, only as "collector's editions", and I compared a track from OK Computer from the original CD I own with its newly released counterpart in audacity, and they looked exactly the same, apart from maybe 0.1 second more silence in the beginning of the track or something insignificant like that. No extra loudness as you would expect with mastering these days. So the only purpose seems to offer the albums together with all the b-sides from that respective era. Nice if you don't own all the singles and want to buy all the b-sides at once, but not so nice if you already own the original album, which is probably the case for almost everybody these releases are targeted for, namely people who want to own all the b-sides and are willing to pay for them. Therefore I think Radiohead didn't decide for these themselves, because I can't see them fuck with their fans like that; it's probably EMI, who own all their material before In Rainbows. They already pulled that trick with The Best Of, which Radiohead never wanted as well.

    Slightly more on topic, but still in a way related to the first part of my post: the last CD I purchased was Kid A from Radiohead.

    lack of a steady job=;(
  12. The Popheart Live EP is the last one I purchased (2nd hand, obviously). That one was still missing, so I had to have it.
