iTunes classifies the Buddy Holly album as country!

anybody got the buddy holly release ?

Yes Keith, but only arrived today so not had a chance to listen yet.

does anybody know which remasters are being used for the led zeppelin shm cds ? as i understand they are saying the 1994 remasters are to be used, but i cannot think that they will not use the jimmy page /george marino remasters .

jimmy page /george marino remasters

I've not heard them, but I've only read negative comments Keith.
If the commentators are right surely they won't be used?

Sure I read somewhere John that they are the ones they will be using. However they ain't as bad as everyone is saying. Personally they are not my cup of tea but I know a lot of folk who love them.

I have now read that they are supposed to be using the 2003/04 Japanese remaster that were in the paper sleeves.

But don't know for sure.

Well just had an email from cdjapan saying that my box set has shipped, so we shall all know soon enough!

The text on the individual disc releases state the 1994 remasters are used.

According to hmv.co.jp, the entire Jackson Browne back catalogue is to be released on SHM on 12/11/08, in cardboard sleeve versions.

Fcuk!

Quite so! It would be rude not to!

Talking of HMV jp, I received a package with 6 albums in it yesterday which came via courier rather than post or parcel. Obviously sailed through without a second glance from HMRC. Some tasty blues titles (Freddie King, Little Walter, Bo Diddley, BB King, Howlin' Wolf) and the Mamas and the Papas "Gold" compilation. Since 2 were doubles that's actually 8 cds!

So another successful day at HMRC for music fans!
Let's hope customs are better at detecting the nasty stuff.

HMV Japan have quite a few SHM discs in a buy 2 discs cheaper price sale. You have to go through a lot of stuff before you may find.

I have seen Police, Hendrix, Stones, Allman Bros so far.

I just received my order of the mini-replica LED ZEPPELIN-CDs....fantastic.

Til the last detail, the CDs are made like the LPs...

Awesome.

Will try how they sound!!!!

I hope your speaker buzz doesn't intrude! Do let us know how they sound.

Got home to find my package on the hall table! Looks great. Will start to listen later if I can wrestle the remote control from others' fingers!

Blimey you got yours quick, I got an email on Monday (release day) saying they'd just been sent...

I know. No HMRC and standard air mail!

The Zep´s sound very very good.
IMHO better than the "normal ones".

Failed in my quest to grab the remote! But the packaging is suberb!
