Free Music Review: Excellent Follow Up But Value For Money?
Hit: 2 Stars
I'm assuming as it's not stated by Amazon anywhere on this page to date that this is the Japanese mlps version and if so, this review refers to that version.
This album is one of the greatest ever by a rock band and is essential listening for fans and aspirants of good rock guitaring. Although all the tracks have been tuned down to E flat tuning for the guitar (so if you've been trying to play along with the cd and have been finding it hard to do so this is the reason) some of rock guitars standards are on this album and especially so for "Spanish Fly" which is a tour de force of acoustic guitar playing. The extremely tasty guitar licks on all the other tracks are also worth the purchase price of this baby. The remastering though is the 2001 version and so if you already have the old cd of this version, I'm struggling to find any extra value that will justify the hefty price tag on this baby when you are essentially paying for cardboard that isn't one of the better mlps designs that I've seen out there. The cardboard is thin and flimsy and looks as if it will come apart once the glue gets old. For examples of good mlps designs, check out The Band and Hall & Oates releases which are simply works of art on good quality thicker and stronger cardboard.
This is essential listening although this mlps version does not represent good value for money and if you already have a 2001 remastered version in the jewel case, you are better off sticking to it as this is no real upgrade to me.
