Re: mo money



It will actually be refreshing to have some new who albums to buy rather
than cosstantly checking the bins and always seeing the same discs that i
have.  (yes i know i need to get a life but oh well someday)
Im actually looking forward to getting the TommySndtk remaster thats
probably the only album i dont have. I thought that TKAA Japanese was pretty
good. It sounded really good.  It was obviously from fresh mastering tapes
with the same mix.  I much preferred the Sparks on TKAA to the "UNderture"
on disc two of The MXR&B box set.  That track needs that thick bottom end
and echo.  Sometimes remasters are not always a good thing.
