Free Music Notes for The Stone Roses 20th Anniversary (2CD/1 DVD Deluxe Edition)
Free Music Review: Overall excellent reissue of an undisputed classic, with a couple of minor qualifications
Hit: 5 Stars
The Stone Roses' first album is an undisputed landmark of the pre-BritPop / `Madchester' era - one that would prove enormously influential on the early to mid-90's Britpop bands like Oasis, Blur, etc. This new remastered edition (2cd's/1DVD) is a very good value for the money (I paid around $20-22), as you get:
The debut album itself, which sounds FAR better than the original CD. The original cd sounded a bit `thin', and this reissue sounds clearer, with more bass, and an overall higher sound level - I A/B'd it on my home system, and the reissue thundered. The only drawback to the album itself in this package is the omission of `Elephant Stone', which, I found out, was not on the original UK release, but was on the US cd that I have, as a bonus cut. `Elephant Stone', which is a very good cut, IS on disc 2 of this collection, albeit in demo form, so if you have the original CD (or the Complete Stone Roses cd), don't get rid of them just yet as they have the 'real' versions of the song, which you'll want to have.
The 2nd disc is of demos - quality (sonics and artistic) vary a bit, and there's some good material here of both album and non-album songs, so for the hard-core Stone Roses fan, it's an interesting, insightful document.
Disc 3 is a DVD containing the August 1989 Blackpool show that is generally acknowledged as a crucial show in their history. I don't think every song from the show is actually on this (judging by the running time of around 55 minutes and the setlist you can see in shots of Reni's drumkit), but it's very good, and the end raveup (last 10 min of the show) is probably what cemented their reputation. Film quality is decent - some grain, but more than ok for viewing on a big screen (as I did). This DVD sealed my satisfaction with the package, as I believe it was only previously available in the US on hard-to-find VHS and import DVD's (I have it on my PAL version of the Complete Stone Roses). There are also six videos from the era on this DVD, which were also on The Complete Stone Roses. So versus the Complete Stone Roses import DVD I have, we're basically missing the TV appearances on disc 2 of that set, but for what you get here, it's probably more important to have the Blackpool show.
Excellent packaging, nice notes from the principals, with the notable omission of having no comments from John Squire, who doesn't appear to have participated much in this project (Producer John Leckie and Ian Brown supervised the remastering) - apparently, Squire and Brown still aren't seeing eye to eye (putting it mildly), after all these years. Too bad - it'd have been nice to have some insights/narrative from Squire, who is arguably the best guitarist of that generation. All in all, though, a nice packaging/remaster of one of the key rock albums of the last 20 years - if you've never owned it, this is a terrific edition to get just for the album itself and the DVD, and if you only have the original edition, this one is a near-revelation.
The Stone Roses 20th Anniversary (2CD/1 DVD Deluxe Edition) Poster
Meshing simple, exceedingly catchy hooks with rhythmic beats, The Stones Roses led the UK's so-called "Madchester" scene straight into the U.S. with their eponymous debut. The Stone Roses achieved one of the most successful fusions of classic pop songwriting and acid house culture, and managed to snare fans from both genres. By the end of 1989, their debut had landed on many a top-ten list for that year; NME even declared it "The Greatest Album Of All Time."Twenty years from the moment when four Manchester musicians stepped onto the stage of the Blackpool Empress Ballroom for what would become a legendary gig, Silvertone/Legacy is set to re-release the classic album that is THE STONE ROSES in 4 new formats. Over two decades, the impact of the band's debut album has increased exponentially, inspiring musicians to form bands, marking a re-engagement of guitar music with the mainstream, and creating a youth culture that retains its influence across music, fashion, politics and art to this day.
