In this digital age my brother-in law and sister -in- law decided to disposed of their CDs.
I got first dibs.
There were about a hundred or so mostly mainstream and a fair number of best ofs. About three quarters have now been forwarded to the charity shop with a few keepers and a few we are still swithering about.
One that is a switherer (if there is such a word) is/are The Animals - it would be a keeper but for the dreaded this album contains tracks that are re-recorded. As Half Man Half Biscuit would have it - it's on the Hallmark label, that's sure to be good.
Featuring today not because of alphabetical reasons but because We Gotta Get Out of this Place recently featured on a retro TV cop drama and has ear wormed it's way into my head.
1.00 pm - Tracks have now been replaced with better versions
The Animals - Gotta Get out of This Place
The Animals - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Out of those are great songs
ReplyDeleteI have an Eric Burdon and the Animals double cd. It has re-recordings, possibly these, it's terrible, abysmally bad. Your second song here is risible. Is there a chance that, on your charity shopping you might buy one of the cds you disposed of (without realising you had chucked it out earlier)?
ReplyDeleteEntirely possible although I don't throw too many back
DeleteDon't think this will be a keeper
Good Lord. Under normal circumstances I'd say that any Animals compilation is essential - but these aren't normal circumstances. This atrocity needs to go to the charity shop right now. If they're closed, put the CD through their letter box, just get it out of the house. Let us never speak of it again.
ReplyDeleteThe mowlings and howlings of our little cat who is currently in heat is a more pleasurable sound than these tracks
ReplyDeleteI hadn't actually listened to the second track
ReplyDeleteI have now hopefully rectified the situation
Apologies for spoiling your Sundays
Aw, I missed the re-records? You should have left them up for a laugh, CC (along with the replacements.) ;-)
DeleteThought about it but I am desperately trying to re-build my credibility Marie!
DeleteThis single disc from 1987 never fails to scratch the itch :
