Rock n' Roll Doggie ALL ACCESS
seems like lots of artists are reissuing their old stuff now. The Peppers and AC/DC just put out a few each. There are different approaches. AC/DC just cleaned up the sound. (Quite well, might I add). A few essays in the liner notes, but nothing spectacular. The Chilis I haven't picked up yet, cuz I own so much of their stuff already. I've already got everything from Mother's Milk on, and I don't care a whole lot for the first three albums aside from a few songs each. Anyway, Flea did new liner notes and they tacked a few songs and demos onto each disc. But the King of reissues has got to be....

Elvis Costello. I picked up This Year's Model and Armed Forces. All I can say is wow. First off, the sound is amazing, and sounds much better than my old compilations and albums, especially in my car. Then there are the new liner notes. Memories and stories about each song from Elvis Costello himself. Life on the road at the time of each album, and his life in general at the time. Then there are lyrics to each and every song, including all the stuff on the bonus discs. Here comes the best part. Each album, and I think he's reissued almost everything from 77's My Aim is True through 96's All This Useless Beauty, has a bonus disc. These discs include-
1) live versions
2) alternate versions
3)demos
4)b-sides
5)covers
6)non-album singles
7)unreleased altogether songs
In fact, the Armed Forces CD has a full 9 tracks from the same show, and then another 8 tracks.
So hats off to the real king of rock n' roll.
