Another Boot Review - My Generation

["Scott Schrade" <schrade@akrobiz.com>]

This a CD-R boot of the MY GENERATION album with some bonus 
tracks thrown in.

It's on the Brunswick label & comes in a jewel case & uses the Virgin
MY GENERATION album cover as its front cover.  There's a little two-
page booklet containing only pictures (the MG Decca album cover, the 
HOUSE THAT TRACK BUILT album cover, & a period promo for
TKAA.

It sounds fairly good.  I had to turn up the bass to beef it up but there
isn't any hiss or high-end noise.  Not sure if it was taken from a tape or
a vinyl version; I didn't hear any crackles or pops.  The TKAA version 
featured is the long one.

The bonus tracks seem to be taken from other CD sources where avail-
able.

However, there are some problems with the bonus tracks.  "I Can't Ex-
plain" is missing the first chord strike & I heard a few digital farts along
the way, too.

The saving grace is the inclusion of "Young Man Blues" from THE HOUSE
THAT TRACK BUILT album.  This is the better of the two studio versions
& the one that *wasn't* included on the ODDS & SODS reissue apparent-
ly because Jon Astley is out to get us.
