True story:

I have never bought VH's "The Best of Volume I" either.....

Just didn't see the need.....

I might pick it up only because I don't have the last remasters. Never had much interest until Elvis said somewhere that they sound louder than the originals or something to that effect. I will take a louder 6 pack.

The remasters are worth it. If you have a good setup you'll notice new things that were muddled before and they support HDCD. So, no, they aren't "simply louder."

I used to have a review of them on here way back when I was a webbie and they were new.

You didn't like the 2 bonus tracks enough to want to own it?

Get the CD single and you'll never have to hear anyone but DLR. 500th post! Whoo hoo!

I thought, in all honesty, they were both highly overrated....

It was the "Eddie Murphy Ritz cracker" syndrome....

[ThrillsNSpills]

How 'bout they "remaster" the crappy sounding new album and give it a proper sounding bottom end ??

Other than that it's a different label, hell yeah.
I take it the vinyl version wasn't much improved then...?

[ELVIS]

I still don't know...

I've yet to get a new cartridge and make a comparable copy...

I've only sampled the vinyl so far...

It is nice to look at, though...

I do get the sense that Dave is much more than a hired singer when I caress and gaze upon the artfully done album...

Your absolutely right. This comment in conjunction with VH Scraps in the other thread serve as a decent reminder that Dave is not simply sitting in the back seat of the Halenmobile.

[ELVIS]

After reading it again, I think Dave is trying to light a fire under Edwad's ass and get some healthy conflict brewing...

I only bought it used. $5 seemed appropriate for just 2 songs. (Well, technically three, if you want to count that really fucked up remix of RWTD)

Um, no thanks.....

[Zing!]

A credit to Michael McDonald isn't enough enticement to get me to buy this.

Pass.

Waitaminute. Are you talking about the one with Me Wise & Stuff? WTF did they do to RWTD? Don't think I ever listened to anything but the 2 new (at the time) songs.
