I'm just saying that the US version of "Rubber Soul" accentuates that aspect and, since I know that version so, well, I tend to enjoy it.<br /><br />Re: Braxton. Well, after plowing through the Iridium box, I decided to keep listening in chronological order. Fascinating stuff--especially the Diamond Curtain Wall groupings.<br /><br />Thanks for the b-day greetings!Rodger Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447735420151521491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34883285.post-20634349361651310032010-11-15T17:35:28.677-06:002010-11-15T17:35:28.677-06:00Rodger,
Thanks for this update on the Beatles rema...Rodger,<br />Thanks for this update on the Beatles remasters. They really did do a great job--and while I agree that it would have been nice to have the singles on the same discs, I can live without them that way if they're gonna sound this damn good. <br /><br />The American versions of all the early albums are, of course, burnt into my DNA. To this day, I can't hear the end of "What You're Dong" without supplying in my head the beginning of "Yes It Is" the way it appears on "Beatles VI." That being said, it kinda pisses me off that we Americans didn't get "Drive My Car" as early as the Brits did. I have to disagree with you on this one--the British "Rubber Soul" is far superior. It distorts what the Beatles were up to to say that with "Rubber Soul" they were moving in a folkier direction--especially since both "It's Only Love" and "I've Just Seen a Face" originally appeared on "Help!"<br /><br />Looks like you've been delving into some recent Braxton as well--I'd love to hear your thoughts on his most recent Wesleyan directions.<br /><br />Here's my list from last week:<br /><br />Playlist 2010-11-15<br /><br />*Art Ensemble of Chicago with Muhal Richard Abrams: 1974-07-08 Laren, Netherlands (CDR)<br />*Art Ensemble of Chicago: 1976-10-12 Stockholm (CDR)<br />*Art Ensemble of Chicago: 1977-11-12 Ann Arbor (CDR)<br />*Art Ensemble of Chicago: 1978-06-01 Padova, Italy (CDR)<br />*Art Ensemble of Chicago: Nice Guys<br />*Art Ensemble of Chicago: Live in Berlin<br />*Art Ensemble of Chicago: 1979-04-30 Athens GA (CDR)<br />*Available Jelly: Bilbao Song<br />*Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers: 1965-03-07 Cine-Tele SoundStudio, London (CDR)<br />*Anthony Braxton: 9 Compositions (Iridium) 2006, Comp. 350, 351<br />*Charles Mingus Sextet: 1961-10-21 Birdland, NYC (CDR)<br />*David Torn Prezens: 2008-03-14 New Haven CT (CDR) disc 2<br />*Animal Collective: Fall Be Kind<br />*Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti: Before Today<br />*Beatles: Unsurpassed Broadcasts, 2nd ed.
