CD ReviewsGenuine bonus track James E. Anderson | Australia | 10/29/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Differences in sound between the CD versions of the original album may be significant (although I think the original LP has superior sound overall) but for me the best thing about this CD is the earlier version of the song Coney Island Baby. 1. It is beautifully recorded, mixed and mastered. 2. I like the grittier sound to Reed's voice with lyrics more engagingly vernacular and conversational in delivery (rather than rehearsed umpteen times). The originally released version, although a work of art, always came across to me as a little too sappy in parts, particularly the ending with the (probably rehearsed) emotional catch in the voice. I'm so glad this happened - I've now got closure on this great song! If you're in any way a fan of Reed's art you gotta hear this! Thank you Lou Reed (vocals, guitar), Doug Yule (guitar, bass), Michael Fonfara (keys), Bob Meday (drums) and all others responsible." Huge sound improvement Robert Mcneil | philadelphia, pa United States | 09/21/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "you will be floored, the sound improvement over the original release is unreal....this is one of his best...this and "blue mask"" Mostly a Success J. Howe | Dover, NH | 10/28/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "The sound on this is great, especially when played on speakers that have clear highs. The three new bonus tracks are a great addition, and show what a different record this would have been if the original sessions had panned out. My only complaint is the choice to include the three songs from the box set. Yes, they sound sharper here, but I would have preferred three more unreleased outtakes or live tracks. What about the early version of "I Wanna Be Black" or "You Can Dance" (at least one live soundboard or multitrack of this exists on bootleg)? Or how about the harrowing live version of "Kicks" from the 1976 Roxy show that "Heroin" on the box set is taken from?
Complaints aside, the treatment of the original album is great and worth the price alone. Maybe we can cross our fingers and hope that other material is being held back for a rarities box set in the future. We can only hope, right?" |
