I'm a little tired of the criticisms that are frequently thrown at the 30th Anniversary collection. "Look Through Any Window" is always the one that gets the harshest criticism and I don't u ... |

A true stereo mix of "All The World Is Love" appeared on the "30th Anniversary Collection". Where did you find the live 1968 "Times They Are A Changin'" in stereo? |

On Moon. I know that he is very highly rated and innovative and all of that BUT I sometimes think he sounds too much like Keith Moon doing his Keith Moon- thing. His drumming can be a bit familiar fro ... |

Thank you Distant Light for confirming that the later line up of The Byrds were great - I should have mentioned the line ups' names - Roger McGuinn, Clarence White, Skip Battin and Gene Parsons. Great ... |

Though I own and enjoy all of The Byrds albums, I do feel that though they were good, their reputation and status is overblown. Through much of the 60s they were indeed absolutely awful onstage... try ... |

Well said Dennis! At the end of the day these "halls of fame" are completely irrelevent anyway. They're just a big excuse for the music industry to congratulate themselves on who they think they have ... |

"Come Together" which indeed as you point out resembles the Chuck Berry track, also caused John Lennon several years of problems. He and Apple were sued in 1970 on the day The Beatles split became pub ... |

Distant Lights' assessment of "Buddy Holly" is pretty accurate. I think what is "wrong" with the album was its timing - 1980. Naturally, The Hollies wanted to create a modern sounding album and this t ... |

Indeed when I first saw the live Beat Club and Beat Beat Beat performances, I was absolutely blown away by how wonderful they were live at that time which is why the Lewisham Odeon show should be give ... |

Hi Peter.... glad you're enjoying the site and the forums - welcome!
Indeed it seems that the tracks on the list of recordings you submitted have indeed never seen the light of day. Quite a few ite ... |

Indeed... I think everyone on this forum would agree with me that Bobby Elliott is in a class of his own as a drummer... definitely one of the very best and certainly (like Tony Hicks' guitar work) ve ... |

To clarify the changes in recording technology hinted at above... "Hollies Sing Dylan" I think is mainly recorded on 4 track with perhaps some 8 track songs. EMI had an 8 track machine in storage unti ... |

It was thanks to my parents I got into The Hollies which is rather ironic since neither of them could stand them! To this day why they had a copy of "Jennifer Eccles" remains unknown! Since they neve ... |

Hi Everyone.
Over the last ten years or so, EMI have reissued virtually the entire 60s catalogue in both mono and stereo forms (the only albums that never appeared in mono to my knowledge were the H ... |
