Re: Stereo version of A Quick One; (Feels Like) Starting Over
Well, once again I will cite Plant and Page's Walking To Clarksdale as an
example. As "Unledded" Led Zeppelin P&P made a pretty weak album (No
Quarter), which (IMHO) caused the listener to focus more on what was no
longer possible to perform rather than what "magic" these two might be able
to create. Clarksdale, on the other hand, was a damned fine album. If
there's a weakness it's in the songwriting...and I'd say they did pretty
well considering. Others may disagree. So if they make a new album (and I'm
not opposed to that in any way) they should move forward, rather than bank
on the past. After all, that IS one of the things that made them unique,
isn't it?
Yes, except that there things are called name recognition and brand loyalty
and goodwill. You get rid of a lot of baggage when you change the name of a
business, but you also give most of the positive things.
