I dont think whether they wrote a good or great song in the late 70s was an issue, even if they never wrote. How many bands reform and tour with new material ? and when they do who is interested in it ? Also john had a mini revival, just before his death, both criticly and commercially with Double Fantasy. its success was dwarfed with what followed after his death, point is creative re-births ar

QuoteNanker Phlegm Of course they never got back together, certainly not in the studio, It was just a spoof. It is good fun to compile "what if" albums had they stayed together another year or so, from thier first solo albums and singles. 50% of the beatles casually meetin in a social event, doesnt come close to a re-union. Even when things got amicable again before Johns death,

Do live and compilations really count ? Not convinced that the Basement Tapes qualifes as an album per se. To mind its an album that was conceived and realised as two slabs of vinyl. keeping it pre "longer format" CD keeps it simple. Just a few of the top of my head, i'm sure I'll think of some more.

Quotewinter I just saw an amazing 'album in its entirety' show. Todd Rundgren and a 6-piece band did A Wizard A True Star (1973) and knocked it out of the park. I believe it comes to London and Amsterdam in February. got tickets for London in feb, looking forward to it. did he do any Non Wizard stuff ?

i downloaded both the mono and stereo boxes but did go out and buy the Mono box on release, i'll also get the stereo only albums. I can understand people downlaoding music they have allready bought at lest once, its a little bit easier to justifythan taking the music for free for people who are depinding on for their living and to continue producing music.
