Springsteen - The Rising

Nick,

I had a discussion about Led Zep releases with some people on a USA forum which included one particular clever guy. Everyone rated these remasters as the best you could get unless you could find an original first pressing in mint condition. Pretty unlikely.

They really do sound superb. The Obelisks react to the drums and bass guitar like no other speaker I've heard. I try to forget paying over £100 for 4 lp'S in one go, but they are used as a test record for my guests.

"Vuk",

You ruin the forum. You are your own worst enemy.

You are the audience on this thread. Collect your belongings and sod off.

P.S. Just read something about you re-photographing a B+W neg to get a B+W trans. You are beyond belief. Ever heard of a copy tran? I'll probably post it on the Padded cell to show up what a real thick twat you are.

Anyone using offensive or foul language, should be banned from the forum and not allowed back.

There really is no excuse for such behaviour.

J.N,

Sorry you're offended by some of the language on this thread. Many of the problems on the Naim forum are brought about by the instigative behaviour of "Vuk"

He never really has much to say of any use and some of it is quite laughable. He pops up now and then, insults people, then goes. He has a reputation on another forum for the same behaviour.

The best way to treat these patients is to bring them down to show what they really are.

While I have an interest in this forum, I will do this to "Vuk" on every thread I'm involved in.

"The best way to treat these patients is to bring them down to show what they really are"

Given statements like "Don't ever infiltrate my thread you twat" are you sure that the cure might not end up being worse than the problem?

Matthew,

You could be right.

I have a lot of work on at the moment retouching images and I get bored.

If you can't beat them, join them.

Insults seem to be appreciated on the Naim forum.

Hi Peter,

glad you liked it. I spend way too much time there every time I'm in Paris (the hotel I stay is a little further south on Rue Monge). GJ has a substantial s/h section as well.

Drop me a line when you're next here. There's a number of used CD stores in the rue monge too, or around there, particularly Paris Jazz Corner, expensive but great selection of LPs mostly and CDs.

i managed to trawl one interesting record at GJ today, Patrick Moraz 'I' ... somebody will tell me it's a load of crap surely ?

Of course: I forgot to mention those places, as they are 100% devoid of classical stuff. But apart from that they do look hipper than the places on Bv St Mich - prob is I'm so unhip myself.
Rosie and I ought to go to Paris soon, being both horribly overworked, except the plan is to go to her native Andalucia next month, where, alas, people speak a thousand tongues I'm unconversant with.

"somebody will tell me it's a load of crap surely?"

On this thread very likely.

Listened to it a couple of times so far, and I think it's about on a par with Human Touch / Lucky Town. Not at all bad, but a bit patchy.

I tend to agree with the earlier posting that said he could do with a good editor, if he'd have just culled tracks from Human Touch and Lucky Town then that would have been a really great single album.

My own personal favourite is Tunnel Of Love. I like Nebraska a great deal, but I found Tom Joad just a bit too dull.

Steve.

P.S - For those of you with '45 capability try playing I'm On Fire (from Born In The USA) at 45rpm. Sounds just like Dolly Parton.
