I am rather impressed with this re-release/remix, musically it has always been a favourite of mine but I always found the original release both on vinyl and CD somewhat bland and in paces muddled, just as if the mix was masking aspects of the recording. This new release on vinyl completely changes that, to use the old cliche as if a veil has been lifted from in front of the speakers, a match more open soundstage and more engaging. There have been some mixed reviews about the pressing quality but mine is near perfect.

2018 remix? 2022 release? They took their time! Should be good, they've had it long enough. If the changes are enough to warrant changing the sleeve art, they should be significant. I'll put this on my Christmas wish list - I bought the 2016 reissue, and I'm not a fan of the SQ.Quote:

So how does it sound sans Rolf? Kate's decision, so I can respect that. I believe she replaced his contribution with son Bertie, as in her "Before the Dawn" album.Quote:

I already have it on CD, which is perfectly good, but I could be persuaded towards the vinyl if SQ was right.

THE JAM - THIS IS THE MODERN WORLD. ALTHOUGH NOT PARTICULARLY LIKED (AS AN ALBUM) BY WELLER, I ACTUALLY QUITE LIKE THIS ALBUM - ESPECIALLY THE TRACKS "LIFE FROM A WINDOW," "STANDARDS" AND "LONDON TRAFFIC."
I used to have a work clleague who was a massive Paul Weller fan, absolutely worshipped him. Even got into Ocean Colour Scene because Paul told him to. Was similarly earnest and lacking in humour, so I made it my life's work to take the piss :D Not you though Loz, you like plenty of other artists I like :)Quote:

A rather good album this one, he has such a smooth voice, and a fantastic re-release SQ and dynamics. I would recommend for collectors...
