I'm listening to the Iain Matthews set atm. Very good, and you wouldn't guess some of that live material is from 50+ years ago. It's cleaned up nicely!

I shall have to pick up the Iain Matthews and the Plainsong sets at some point. For my mega box set Christmas gift to myself I have been eyeing a 20 disc Memphis Blues set from Bear Family for the past year. The price has dropped so here’s hoping!

Meant to ask regarding the Iain Matthews set…are these recreated sleeves in a slightly larger than CD style box? Any sort of book or extras included?

Yes, they are card sleeves in a box. There are lots of music extras included (live tracks, radio sessions...), and a booklet with information about the albums and their context. Very similar to the Rockburgh Years box released a few years ago. |

Thanks for confirming Will. I’ve seen the tracklist but it wasn’t entirely clear to me what format the ‘box’ itself was, and just curious. Definitely have to consider the Iain sets now for the near future!

Just to be clear, this isn't actually a reissue of Paris. It is the soundtrack to the Live In Paris DVD/CD that was issued some years back, the key difference being that this is a single, complete show recorded in one evening whereas the Paris album was compiled from a number of different shows. So, some of the performances on this new/re-issue are not the same as those on the Paris album. |

Some of you will already know Shelagh MacDonald's Stargazer is to be reissued on vinyl in March.
The company doing it is new.

I guess it's not, but the two albums feel so different that it feels like a slightly weird pairing that. I'll be intrigued to hear the mastering, though. |

I've got the Castle CD and the deluxe vinyl of Trader Horne so if i buy this it would be for the Jackie Mc Cauley. I'm wary of BGO since i got a terrible needle drop of a Stefan Grossman album. |

I'm taking them at their word (that it is remastered) - and the sleeve notes etc. suggest some effort has gone into this. I've spent my money anyhow - will let you know. |

Just purchased the 40th anniversary edition of Hotel California CD, which I gather came out in 2016 or so. The second CD is about one hour of a live performance from the fabulous Forum in L.A., recorded a couple of weeks before the original album was released circa 1976. It’s a hoot to hear them introduce the “new” songs “New Kid in Town” and “Hotel California,” neither of which the enthusiastic audience had heard before.
As usual, the Eagles are note perfect throughout. I doubt there was much, if any, overdubbing on this archival release. Assuming I’m correct, it confirms that even as a five-piece the Eagles were an incredibly skilled live act.
I’ve heard stories about the extensive re-recording done on their official Eagles Live album back in 1982. This archival CD is probably a better representation of the band at its peak. Highly recommended.
