    Default Now spinning... Eric Burdon & War "Black Man's Burdon"

    I had this double LP when I was a kid. Then, after switching wholesale to digital music, I gave the LPs away and replaced this album with a CD. But I was never satisfied with the transfer to digital, as the CD sounds somewhat anemic and thin.

    Yesterday I finally managed to bump into the original pressing in a used record store. Brought it home, and despite scratches and pops, immediately heard how much better it sounds than the CD. The band is showing more muscle of the LP, Eric's voice is more grainy and hoarse, and everything has much more punch, kick and slam.

    My favourite track on this LP -- "Spirit".

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Local records shops are charging between $2.50 to $4.00 per record for cleaning.
