Re: Quad CD ripoff

Here begins the Quad CD ripoff wars:

<<  At a retail price of $31.99, I expect a hell of a
 lot more than why they've given us.  Someone really oughtta take Astley out
 back and slap him around for a while.  Perhaps he'll come to his senses.

I try to keep my life simple and easy - I will just sit back and continue to
enjoy the superior sound quality and warmth of my Japanese vinyl pressing of
Quadrophenia (which I have yet to hear a CD successfully challenge BTW) and
will laugh at those who swallow this crass commercailism called the
remastered CD without any bonus tracks on it.

Come on people - enough is enough.  I have heard the remastered Tommy - I
still like the feel of my Japanese vinyl better.  There's a little more
OOOOMMPHHH on it.  I really have serious doubts about this remastering craze
that has gone on for so long.  Want proof?  Get and listen to a 1966 British
pressing of Cream's first LP and then listen to ANY CD you can find of it
back to back.  That 30 year old record will kick the living CRAP out of the
CD - as most original British vinyl pressings of the time will also do!!!!!!

If you wish to swallow this commercialism then I guess that's OK - it's your
money.  But usually, those that I have heard are not THAT much better than
 before and, unless there's some cool bonus tracks on it - it isn't really
worth picking up.  Sounds like the new Quad CD release, hhhhmmmmmm?????
