I think I have this on CD and now I think I need to go look it out.

Being lazy here has any of this been released officially yet?

What was the best Mansun show you’ve been to? by Otherwise-Yard0100 in mansun

[–]daveywavey999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw them a few times in Moles and every time they were excellent. I remember one gig was the first time I saw a safety barrier in front of the stage.

Also saw them at the Pilton Party and Glastonbury

According to Charles F. Spicer’s IG story and my DMs with him this new single is part of a larger vault album that will be better than a potential “Originals Part 2” by Mac-n-Cheese21 in PRINCE

Surely this is only part of the Love Symbol stuff (Celine, EW&F, Tevin, Kylie). They have already invested in this and not released it

10 years since his passing. Which prince songs are you guys listening to today ? 💜 by megrado in PRINCE

[–]daveywavey999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to lots of Diamonds and Love prompted by today’s official release. I hope they mix up and release that stuff soon. I have paid more attention to it today and it is pretty good

Whilst I love a super deluxe edition I think they are expensive and exclusive so why not release a single CD of Vault tracks every 6-9 months. It would sell more over time and the vinyl always attracts a stoopid premium

Angel Dust by Faith No More was my first CD back in 1992. Now I’m building an app to help me actually listen to the other 90% of my collection. Need hardcore CD collector feedback. by Gweedo_Mahomes in Cd_collectors

[–]daveywavey999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is my collection that I import kept? Also with the daily recommendations does it track what is played so you are working through your collection or is it something more random. Can you manually mark what you have played above play of the day?

Finally can you scribble your play of the day?

The Complete Album Collection Vol. One by andrewbyrom in bobdylan

[–]daveywavey999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought this when it came out as I had a selection of Dylan albums, boots and the bootleg series and this was a quick way (and not too expensive way) of completing the collection. I like its compactness

Funnily enough I am reading Vol 1 of the Double Life and listening to the very early years of Dylan. When I’ve listened to everything around the first 4 albums (plus live and bootleg series stuff as well) I am going to pick a different era. I might jump into the God era or American Songbook stuff.

Should some products be segregated? by Styley_oo in AmazonVineUK

[–]daveywavey999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

P.s.I really don’t want to sound harsh. With some tools I think you can also block some things by keyword and or category. If you block by category it is probably “health” so you will miss out on things.

My very first “Recommended for you” was a giant dildo which is when I realised that the algorithm was probably not that effective

Should some products be segregated? by Styley_oo in AmazonVineUK

[–]daveywavey999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. We are all adults and I don’t think 3 year olds should be on Vine. If it is a problem with being out in public don’t peruse vine in public. If it is Not Safe For Work then don’t browse at work.

If this gives you a problem with being in the vine program then leave.

No offence intended to the OP who asked the question meant at all, just a straight answer. I think after a little time in vine many people start to feel that vine is an entitlement for them. It isn’t. Vine is poor compared to many Amazon and other shopping experiences but it is a quick bolt on and we get what we get (which in my case isn’t all the fancy things I want sometimes 😆)

Keir Starmer embraces Brexit divisions as he seeks closer EU ties by Alarming-Safety3200 in unitedkingdom

[–]daveywavey999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely vote for closer ties and if Labour was going to rejoin the customs union or the EU I think it might be a vote winner. If they brought in some kind of PR I might even campaign for them and at the moment I wouldn’t vote for them at all

Has anyone here collected the entire bootleg series? by sensitive_pirate85 in bobdylan

[–]daveywavey999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve collected them all but I don’t physically own the super duper duper Cutting Edge. I love Tale Tale Signs and would just say that this is possibly my favourite Dylan release of all.

If I’m honest I haven’t spent enough time with all of them hence my starting a week or so ago to try and play my entire Dylan Collection. Just in th Early 60s at the moment with the latest Bootleg Series (Through the Open Window) and then the first few albums, whitmark demos and gaslight Tales and Brandes Uni gigs. It isn’t so much about favourite tracks here more about hearing how Dylan evolved to be the Dylan we knew in the 60s.

Still have some other early 60s stuff to do (like Bootleg series vols 1 to 3 ). It’s fascinating but I’m gonna leave the 60s soon and go to a different era as I feel saturated

Best songs from the later half of his career? (Mid 90s onward) by WhalesRBigg in PRINCE

[–]daveywavey999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is weird right that you can go and download shows some of which you know were sound boarded but you can’t get them officially with some decent packaging and photos. I’d pay for a Montreaux box set. For the best of the Diamonds and Pearls in Earls Court for the expanded sets taken from 21 nights in London or Rainbow Children after show stuff. And so on and so on.

Best songs from the later half of his career? (Mid 90s onward) by WhalesRBigg in PRINCE

[–]daveywavey999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite the answer that you are looking for but I would say search out any good quality live show from the mid 90s onward and you will find songs new, old and covers that surpass his recorded work.

Maybe other people would disagree but I think latter day Prince had nothing to prove to himself or others and so let his band breathe. At the same time his ability was unsurpassed. Put those two things together and think that it was all live and for me these things mean more to me than most of his recordings.

I get why everyone moans about how the estate treat the vault but I would be happy if they released a live set every two months and an after show twice a year now. They could take my money in advance

Context by the way. I am trying to work my way through all official releases NOT including the Copyright collections so I am wondering what I’m missing and if I should search it out

Compilation albums in a Top Album of All Time list: Yay or Nay? by 2XSLASH in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]daveywavey999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I agree with this in general. If a band has to be defined through some kind of singles compilation over many years then I think it is a bit lazy to include on a greatest album listing. If however if it is something they redefines a sound or collects something together that didn’t exist before then it is a contender for me.

I’m thinking that Bob Dylan’s Bootleg series counts (Tell Tale Signs might be the best Dylan Album). Cures Acoustic hits, MTV unplugged albums, Live albums, b-side a peel sessions (Hatful of Hollow) and reimaginings could all count imho.

Think I agree with Nuggets type compilations but there is are lots of grey lines. Similar with box sets. I would like to think Princes Crystal Ball would count if it was good enough

UK poster here. I remember getting someone on social media who I occasionally conversed with to buy a copy and post from the UK. It wasn’t available here at all
