CD Reviews

There is finally an alternative
Venturenut | Grants Pass, OR United States | 12/06/2003
(2 out of 5 stars)

"I weighed in on this CD when Amazon first offered it, nearly 4 years ago, and I voiced my disappointment in the sound quality of such a good piece of music. Fortunately, The Ides have had a renaissance of popularity (they re-formed in 1990) and Rhino has issued the Warner Bros. albums, with some outtakes, on a 2-disc set. It has to be heard to be believed; seldom does a CD set transcend the best vinyl can offer. You have not heard Vehicle and Common Bond until you get this set. The catalog # is: RHM7834, on Rhino Records, and the full title is "Friendly Strangers: The Warner Bros. Recordings." It also has the track "Melody" so you are not losing anything from the (inferior) Magic Label release...I'd also like to add that I received more emails in response to that first review than for any other thing I have done on the internet; it was fascinating to hear from so many other music lovers!"
Disappointed

"Performance 5 stars .... poopie audio ... I want to avoid too much comparing this CD with the original vinyl (I do have a pristine copy), but the engineering of the CD is muffled and overly bassy. If you have no vinyl, then consider this as a (poor) substitute (but existing) for a great album. At least this allows me to avoid overuse of the LP."
Even More Bonus Tracks

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I just received (10/5/05) a copy of the "Remastered in high definition 24 bit - CD Digipak - New edition 2004" of Vehicle and it included these "extra" songs:



14. Vehicle (single version)

15. High On A Hillside



Strangely, Tracks 14 and 15 are not listed on the CD cover, but they are listed on a sticker attached to the wrapper.



The two version of Vehicle are exactly the same length and sound like the same exact song (to me). I ordered this on Amazon from Import CD Specialists."
