I have the entire series; I had Russian imports before and 80 bootlegs and pristine CD recordings of orig UK vinyl and I also have vivid memories around 11/12 of big brother coming in with 45’s and playing them, over and over on a 15 dollar turntable. The kinks and the byrds and the stones are better bands but these re-issued re mastered stereos of the mid period (RSW, Rev, MMT) are mind blowingby michael baker
Re klosterman’s facile and superficial “summaries’ A dig at the stones? I missed it. Oh, you mean the stones’ 12x5, Now, out of our heads, and December’s children were mere apings of early beatles? Has he heard Please Please LP? It sounds like aftermath? As far as the stones’ drying up post let it be I’d take sticky and exile over 40 let it be’s and abbey roads together.

4 minus 4 is the same number as a million minus million. songs about fucking is better than goat and liar put together but less great than atomizer which makes it sit in the penalty box for 2 minutes. here's equation ζ (z) = 1 / Π (1- pk-z) =1 + 1/2z + 1/3z + 1/4z + 1/5z + 1/6z +:by michael baker
kay you miss my point: goat and liar and atomizer are good lp's. that's three. which is fewer than 4. having some good songs on an lp does not make that LP really good. and there are few jams on those dead lp's that i like/love/admire/respect.by michael baker

dead have 4 really good lp's the fact that they were all recorded by 1970 is a bad thing as is the fact they have 132 bad lps but 4 good lp's is more than jesus lizard and big black combined GFRR is ok, but compared to detroit powerhouses of their time, they kind of sound watery, lame to me, trying too hard to be "hard" i'll take SRC over Farnerby michael baker
