Coinciding with this reissue, Experience Hendrix is set to release Jimi Hendrix: 'Live At Berkeley (The Second Set)', a single disc release comprised of the entire second set of The Experience's May 30, 1970 show at the Berkeley Community Theatre".

Check the tracks out here, £61.99. And, on the same label, The Yardbirds - 'Our Own Sound' and The Kinetic - 'Live Your Life' - £11.99 each . Go here for all the details.I can't think why you'd be interested in my opinion, but like me you may not have heard an SACD before and, as I've spent all day listening to these albums, I'll tell you what I think. Firstly, audio equipment - I didn't use a pure SACD payer but a Sony DVD player (Sony DVP-NS705V - £199, so not 'high end' stuff) with the ability to play SACDs,  put through a goodish but ancient (35 year old) analogue amp and some similarly specced speakers. The results? Stunning. The separation of the instruments, the warm sound of the voice and the absolute clarity of the reproduction put the originals to shame. Of course we knew they were poor, never having been digitally remastered, but if you're a Dylan fan pondering a sonic upgrade to your old CDs, don't think you won't be able to tell the difference, you will. (Of course, you may say, we're trying to sell there things so we're bound to say they're good!!)
Bob Dylan SACDs :Described as "The First Major Sonic Upgrade of His CD Catalog" Fifteen Bob Dylan albums have been released in the Hybrid Super Audio CD (SACD) format. These discs also feature restored artwork based on original album packaging. Hybrid Super Audio CD discs feature a high-density layer which can provide high-resolution, multi-channel surround sound in addition to a separate two-channel stereo SACD version of the same music, and a layer with a CD version of the recording.  The result is a hybrid disc whose full audio potential can be realized by the new generation of SACD players, and which is fully compatible with all other existing CD players on the market today. "These fifteen titles mark the start of a long-term program to enhance and upgrade the sonic quality and packaging elements of one of the most important album catalogs in popular music". 'Blonde on Blonde', along with five other titles - 'Another Side of Bob Dylan', 'Bringing It All Back Home', 'Blood On the Tracks', 'Slow Train Coming', and "Love and Theft" - will now be issued as 5.1 multi-channel releases with accompanying stereo mixes, in addition to their hybrid SACD versions. Albums: 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' ~ 'Another Side of Bob Dylan' ~ 'Bringing It All Back Home' ~ 'Highway 61 Revisited' ~ 'Blonde on Blonde' (2 Discs)  ~ 'John Wesley Harding' ~ 'Nashville Skyline' ~ 'Planet Waves' ~ 'Blood On The Tracks' ~ 'Desire' ~ 'Slow Train Coming' ~ 'Infidels' ~ 'Oh Mercy' ~ 'Street Legal' and "Love and Theft". Go here for more. £11.99 each.
AC/DC - 'Bonfire' is a 5 CD, 3 Hour-long Box Set of Unreleased Live And Studio box set featuring Bon Scott. Go Here for the tracks. £39.99 'Mescalero' The much-delayed album of new material from ZZ TOP (the following from ZZTop.com:) "Mescalero is the result of many months of planning, writing, woodshedding, experimentation and recording and represents another major milestone in a remarkable career that encompasses an amazing 34 years of American rock and roll history from these eternal icons of rock, blues and boogie. As it was in the beginning, the ZZ TOP of 2003 boasts its original personnel line up: Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard. It's the same "little ol' band from Texas," retooled and re-energized for the new millennium. Mescalero is the latest installment in an unparalleled resume that stretches back to 1969 Mescalero includes sixteen tracks (fifteen of which were written for the album plus one cover song) for a total running time of approximately 63 minutes; the band refers to the album's length as "a buck and change." The album was produced by Billy F Gibbons and Lone Wolf Production Company. Packaging, created by L.A. artist Ryk Maverick, is inspired by Mexico's "Dia De Los Muertes" in keeping with the border theme of the album. The selections run the stylistic gamut from blues-rock to neo-metal to crypto-zydeco to boogie flavored vamps, even including a country inflected ballad and a big dose of TexMex border ambience. In fact, one of the tracks, "Que Lastima" which might be described as techno-mariachi, is sung entirely in Spanish while the title song is a bilingual outing. Beyond the Mescalero originals, the album includes "Tramp," the proto-rap R&B classic, written by Lowell Fulsom and Jimmy McCracklin, that was a hit duet for Otis Redding and Carla Thomas in 1967. Other Mescalero titles include "Two Ways To Play," "Alley-Gator," "Goin' So Good," "Me So Stupid," "Piece," "Punk Ass Boyfriend," "Stackin' Paper," "What Would You Do," "What It Is Kid," "Crunchy," "Dusted" and "Liquor." Gibbons commented, "Mescalero - what it is? Nobody really knows! It is strange and alluring and that's a good thing. Try it - you gonna like it." £11.99

Those Brazilian DVDs we've been talking about for ages have started to arrive. First off, The Rolling Stones 'Rock and Roll Circus' from 1968.
