It is if you really want the studio albums (for DEVO, that is).  I've shelled
out $$$ for each one, and love it.  The sound quality is much better than
the hits/misses set.

Its kinda like being a Split Enz fan here in the states and only finding copies
of "History Never Repeats" (compilation) and "True Colors".  The rest you gotta
find yourself, and that's where the adventure begins...

	Not true:  Steely Dan's AJA and Pink Floyd's DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
were both released as half-speed master albums on vinyl, and they are both
available as MFSL CD's.

Hello

I dont know if this is the right place to place this question etc, if it
isn't, what WOULD be the appropriate conference/user-group/mailing list?
(Any hi-fi news-group out there??)

I'm planning to buy a DAT walkman very soon. I don't know anything about
the DAT- walkman market, so having had a generaly good experience with
Sony hi-fi, I tend to buy the Sony machine. Only, I've been warned about
two things:

1. DAT technology isn't very reliable.

2. You can't record properly from your CDs, or at least you'll get
quality  FAR below  CD  quality,  this  being the result of intentious
crippling of CD to DAT recording by records/CDs/tapes companies.

Anyone owning a DAT tape (preferably a walkman but not necessarily), or
just knowledgable in the area? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanx a lot in advance

Hello-

I just purchased the MFSL Ultradisc of TOMMY when I discovered
that the Ultradisc version of "Eyesight to the Blind" has a
different vocal than the MCA version.  At first I thought that
I was just hearing things but after a side by side comparison
the difference was clear.  The MCA version features Daltry
singing in the high range for the whole tune while the Ultradisc
version had Daltry starting the tune in a much lower register.
Has anyone out there noticed any other differences between these
versions?  Anyone out there KNOW how this happens.  I could
posit a few guesses but...

Thanks for your time!

    Um...  Not hardly.  There has to be something going on here besides just
the format, because LDs have digital audio basically the same as a CD, while
VHS Hi-Fi records the signal analog on the tape in the same place as the
video, just at a different level.

    Firstly, how do you have your LD player and your VCR hooked up?
Also, what do you mean by "sounded better"?  How did it sound better?

    Bob (Niland) PLEASE feel free to hop in here, because I for one would
LOVE to know how a LD can ever sound 10 times worse than VHS Hi-fi!

Devo and Warner Bros. are not exactly friends anymore since they split
in 1985.  I don't know if that has anything to do with the delay of the
domestic releases or not.  I, too, am pissed off, because I _DID_

There were three singles with extra live tracks from Solitude Standing.
I have the first two and have bene searching for the third (which
is probably hopeless by now as they're long out of print).

There were three CD singles from Open Hand, each containing one or
two album tracks and 2 or 3 live tracks - mostly recorded in Israel.
I'm sure these are out of print now. They were "Tired Of Sleeping",
"Men In A War", and "Book of Dreams" - the latter with still a different
limited-edition holographic cover.

There was also an Australian "Live In London" CD a few years back,
containing songs from the first album, and one non-album track
("Black Widow Station").

A problem I have noticed with MFSL releases on CD...
They have not released anything that I know of on CD that
they previously had available on the half speed master albums.
The problem being that Aqualung was one of these albums.
I have the MFSL release of Aqualung on album.
I would say that it is much better than the standard Chrysalis
release, better clarity, stronger bass.
Hope I am wrong about MFSL re-releasing on CD though.

I,ve heard the opposite is true.  People have told me to store disks

stored horizontally.  Does anyone know the facts on this one?  Which way

This I can vouch for... I've been a real lamer because I haven't ordered from

stuff I've been looking for, like Italian PFM imports and similar niftiness.

I guess I should consider myself lucky. I've seen the two-CD _Dream Sequence_
set at MANY record stores here in the Ottawa area, for between $30-40 Canadian
(roughly $24-32 US) depending on the pressing. I paid $24.95 Can ($20 US) for
a sealed French import of the disc. Maybe this was just a fluke, seeing as
everyone seems to be having trouble getting their paws on a copy.

I have found 3 cd singles from england - one for "Liverpool" and two
for "99.9F" .  The liverpool and one of the 99.9 singles have three
live tracks.  The second 99.9F has acoustic versions of "Liverpool" and
another song off the latest album, plus a song called "Men will be
men".  All six live tracks are from some festival in norway (?) in july
of '91 - the live version of "Tom's Diner" on 99.9F is great.

I would really like to hear about any other cd singles from any of

I know this topic has been discussed here in some length, 
but I thought it might interest some to hear this:

Recently, as do most BMG members, I got tired of sending
back their cards every 18.32 days.  Called the toll-free 
number and talked to a woman named Jane to see if I could
be put on the list of members who only send back cards if
they want cds.  She told me this was a list only for people
who had a *good* reason to be on it.  My reason, that I'd
cancel my membership if not placed on the list, was deemed
"not good enough" by her.  She wasn't too nice; BMG probably
ought to know that they lose membership this way, as indicated
by other posts here.  Anyway, I wrote a polite letter to BMG 
telling them to choose between canceling my membership and
placing me on this list.  Today, I got a letter from them 
telling me my membership had been placed on their "Positive
Option Plan", which is the list I called about.  I'm sure
absolutely anyone who has fulfilled their agreement can write
a letter of this nature and be placed on this plan.  I might
add that, with the exception of the lady on the phone, BMG has
always treated me very well.  Hope this helps someone.

 I don't know if you can get the artwork or not. Those disks may be 
promotional disks. Check and see if there something along the lines of 
"For promotional use only" either on the disk or perhaps on the back of 
the jewell case. The record companies usually don't ship promo CDs with 
any kind of liner notes or cover art.

How did he get them you ask? Who knows, you may or may not want to know. 
I can say that he didn't get them from a distributor like that. Besides 
who would want to buy them if they were in a retail outlet of some type. 
Now as far as him returning them, I doubt that a distributor would take 
them back opened. 
 
If you paid $5 bucks for them he didn't buy them from the distrubitor. I 
know from dealing with local distrubitors here the cost on a CD is around 
$8 or $9 bucks. At that price he probably had a buck or maybe two in them

Hopefully you noticed that the subject was a question and not an offering of
info...

I KNOW the demand is there - you can tell by the number of messages on the net.
 What is the hang-up in getting the Men Without Hats back-catalog domestically
(U.S.) released on CD?  Same goes for most of Devo's catalog.  (Anybody else
tired of seeing only live/rare stuff re-released by Devo?  I - WE - want the
studio albums.)

I understand that all - or most - are available as an import.  But paying over
$20 dollars for a CD is not a viable option.

Are there label hang-ups with either band?  Or are the record companies simply
clueless?

There's no one disc that has it all -- there are easily a dozen or more
Python albums.  Most of the studio albums are out on CD in the UK, but
comedy CDs don't seem to be imported into the US very frequently. 

The US discs I know of are 'The Final Rip-Off' (a 2CD compilation),
'Instant Record Collection' (featuring a different configuration than the
LPs) and 'Monty Python Sings' (which *does* collect most, if not all, of
the musical gags and bits they've recorded).  For the rest of the
catalogue I'm afraid you're on your own.
