...And one CD turned into six...
...meanwhile, subconsciously, 45s had to match...
I had an idea of what I was looking to buy and found it straight away-TMOQ Gazette Volume 19. After that purchase, my brain went out the window. Let's review each item and why I parted with my cash.
Summer-Heat-Induced Paul McCartney and Beatles purchases
- TMOQ Gazette Vol 19- A collection of the original 70s film footage that eventual was recycled for use in The Beatles Anthology Film, Plus various bonus 60s videos. Reason For Buying- The Gazette is hard to ignore because it complies past attractive material. I taped Anthology 20 years ago off PBS when I had a VCR and my television had a contrasting problem where the picture was tinted pink. You try watching Anthology in psychedelic colours for years and tell me I shouldn't be greatful for the availability of raw footage on DVD...
- Help The Alternative Help- live and alternative takes. Reason For Buying- need it, wanted it, got it. Basically, a "questionable release" of a "questionable release", so not too expensive.
- The Beatles Live at Last- I have to devote another blog to this as the discussion involves copywriter law that has gone " free-for-all" to get Beatles Live material from 50 years ago which is official in the public domain for dealers to attempt to sell to schmos like me... Reason For Buying- 2015 UK release of live '63\'64 material. 16 tracks of fairly common recording that for whatever screwed up reason(that reason copywrite nightmare) CANNOT be sold in the US. (Again needs a separate blog of drawn out moaning concerning the topic of Live Copywrite law changes).
- Paul McCartney B-Sides Himself- Macca various "B-Sides" Reason For Buying- I saw the words "Mole Mix" which meant The "MaccaMeri unhealthy craze to all things 'Give My Regards To Broadstreet' alert" was activated. Just like the "MaccaMeri unhealthy craze to all things 'Goodnight Tonight' alert", not much thought goes into opening the wallet. The day I get the actual vinyl " Mole Mix" of "No More Lonely Nights" margaritas for all but this CD copy is welcomed to own.
- Wings Back To The Egg Trevor Jones collection Volume 2- Mostly the Egg material from Jones with separate sources of alternative mixes. If it's half as good as "Wings At The Speed Of Sound" Trevor Jones collection, the BTTE one should be pretty decent. Reason For Buying- An over 7 minute version of "'Goodnight Tonight", which I assume is probably the "Disco Mix" that I have shelved the need for collecting on vinyl due to focusing on purchasing all version of the hit songs on 45 rpm. (I can't make sense of this either, but I didn't have that 7 min version at all).
- Paul McCartney Toyko 1993 2nd Night- numbered limited edition two discs of touring for "off the ground" Reason For Buying- not much thought went into this but I got it due to reasonable price, the set list, and the word "Toyko". A candy-in-front-of-a-baby moment.
- Wings With A Little Luck Australian 45- Reason For Buying- Australian and red labeled with the full version of the song. Blind purchase for £5.
- Susie and The Red Stipes Seaside Woman a&m 45- Linda Mac and Friends release from Germany. Reason For Buying- It's German issued , what more can I say?
Not sure how long it will take to listen to all the CDs, but it was a a successful visit to "London Town" yet I might have learn to hold off on shows for awhile if I like eating on a daily basis. Something about the cute one keeps me interested regardless...(I think I have a 1984 movie to go rewatch...again!).
Until copywrite law gets me riled up again, dear readers....
