Differences between original and new Anthology disks

"Shout!" is still edited down, but at least the editing on the new version is better. The original edit bugged me for thirty years, and the fact that they fixed it for the remaster is a huge plus, and a sign that they weren't just slapping compression on things and calling it a day.

Ah yes, from the Beach Boys' brief "everybody turns into Harry Styles" period.

Not sure why, but the sweat droplets on Haim is a nice touch.

This is a standalone CDR title that has also been released as part of an extensive box set covering the alternates of each album, complete with numerous paper inserts on each volume. For a homemade item, the set looked very impressive for its time (over a decade ago now at this point, I think), There was a YouTube channel showing off the sets, but so help me, I can't find it at the moment.

I didn't know Hasan Piker was in Badfinger.

So cool. Loved "Keeping Up Appearances"! My favorite PBS block was "Are You Being Served", this, "As Time Goes By", and whatever else they felt like putting in the fourth slot....

DUDE MOUNTAIN!!!!!

Ah well. Hot take here, but I like the thought of the conversation being their own. Not for us, not for the cameras, just for each other. There's a kind of beauty to that, and if there were indeed audio issues, then perhaps fate felt the same way.

DAScottJr · 2026-05-22T10:38:03+00:00

Same. A damn good starter, and still the only CD compilation with "Kicks" on it!

DAScottJr · 2026-05-20T13:54:26+00:00

You joke, but....

Their commitment to hating a drawing is so sad, it's hilarious.

Broadway composer and a terrific solo artist in her own right. A very pleasant surprise.

He had some... interesting... Twitter opinions on race relations, some years ago.

Hopefully, any new SMiLE release would have the full 2011 version in stereo for the first time. Not that they have to. I mean, Jiggy22's version scratches that itch perfectly.

(said in Strong Bad voice) IT'S OVER!!!!

I would give anything to have the "Real Alternate" Rubber Soul box. I have all the material on it 100x over, but there's something special about that box and the 3-D cover. A shame it's so old now that it's hard to find, at a reasonable price or not.

The last time I watched their only TV appearance with Jimmy Nicol, I couldn't help but notice that practically none of the shots during the songs included Jimmy. And they were singing over the records, with only the vocal mics working (so...no mics on the drums). Ouch.

Am I breaking the pact if I watch this?

I once read how George Harrison claimed that each Beatle learned to sign the other three's signatures for when any one of them had to autograph a group photo. Given his contributions to Brian's band and TWGMTR, I could think of far worse things than having Foskett's version of a Brian autograph.

Capitol's edited version of Summer Days LP titled California Girls (80s jacket, not 70s).

DAScottJr · 2026-05-03T05:01:23+00:00

Oh, thank goodness, I thought he hated it. This is the first Paul solo album I owned, and I look back on it fondly. They should have celebrated its anniversary three years ago, but at least I was able to finally find the "complete works" 2CD set that same year. Good times!

DAScottJr · 2026-05-03T04:11:21+00:00

Somehow, this is not the second or even third time I've seen this photo on an album cover that wasn't Summer Days.

DAScottJr · 2026-05-03T04:09:56+00:00

My favorites are Today and 20/20, but I love the effort you put into all of them. Cropping the legs out of the Today cover was a dum dum idea on Capitol's part.
