These releases only sell 10k or less, they could care less about sound quality when only a bunch of old farts are interested.
The last one, Atlantic City, after 9+ months has sold 8,800 copies in the States, all the formats included.
Technically, in 30 years these releases will be of the same collector's value as old Still Life 'WEA target CD' or Japanese 'black triangle CDs' of Tattoo You and Undercover have nowadays. Although, collector's value has nothing to do with music itself and/or sound quality.Quote

Mayo is not that wrong, actually. It's pretty boring, now.
They're giving us the same show for the 4th (?) time or something like that.
Why not to release the best of each tour? Or a selection of rarely issued songs that they performed once or twice? Why not to care to satisfy the Collectors and the avarage fan? Just black vinyl. Stop.
UMG is using RSD to launch their latest output of useless vinyl and, on top of that, they've stopped enrolling Bob Clearmountain to up-dated the mix of the source tapes. As a result we have: well-known shows, in horrible covers (Studio Fury) and bad-sounding music.
I will not stop buying vinyl, but I gave up buying CDs, DVDs and all the other formats long ago and with no regrets.
we're not negative about the band, we're negative about the way RSR lets UMG manage their output. ABKCO Records shows much more respect and Tery Landi is working very well, instead.
IMO, Luca
If they sell so few copies does it still make sense from a business perspective to put them out? Or are they doing the completists a favor?Quote

Brussels and Live In England were in big deluxe boxes only
On The Air and L&G are of dubious sound quality
But not Live In Texas 1978. Although, the mastering for that on is a brickwall...

Suggest putting the money saved towards the purchase of a new keyboard.

I do in fact have both on bootleg. Perhaps you can find something positive to say.

I think Totally Stripped is a great find in all these years.
