Rhino Reissues
-
Hey I saw on Amazon.com you can preorder the new Rhino Reissues. The limited edition solo show is offered as an import and is $21.99, but you'll still be able to get it at least. Just thought I would let everyone know. I think the reissues are on sale for like $10.98, what a deal!

AWESOME news!
They're all on amazon.co.uk for under 8 quid!
Sweeeeeeeeeeet!

You guys should check out the Front Room acoustic show and the I'm Doin' Fine acoustic show.
I'm Doin' Fine
Front Room
Front Room is awesome, way better setlist than the CBGB show.
It looks like we're going to have to pay for the first one, but numbers 3 and 4 are on FSF

Iron Horse is an ok show, too. The little sequence J plays is Space Trucking (deep purple) not Enter Sandman. But I guess that's part of the charm with those bootlegs. tracklists are sometimes wrong, and the songs have strange names (jayloumurph cd)

Rhinos streaming the remastered Where You Been...
rhino.com/listeningparties -
Sounds pretty good, I can't crank it here at work though. Its making me sad though. I remember when I first heard it. I was at a Sonic Youth show and it Get Me came on the pa before the show and I knew it sounded familiar but couldn't tell what it was. I had only been into Dino for a few months and besides whatever's cool with me this was the first album that came out while I was listening. I bought the start choppin single and get me and out there and was dying for the album. And when it came out and the concerts and everything else changed everything.I was 16 then. How time flies.
-
I'm listening to it at work right now with headphones (and its cranked up of course). It sounds great! J's guitar tone on this album is my favorite of all his albums. It sounds super crisp and clean. Very well done. I hope the packaging has some extras too.
Oh and that version of Keeblin rules! -
Yeah it sounds good, I have all those tracks on other things though. I know I will buy it eventually but not sure if right away.
-
Don't know if this has been posted anywhere else yet, but AOL Music is hosting pre-release streams of Green Mind and Where You Been. You can find them here:

Its weird that the B' sides are on their because they are from WHere You BEen era not green mind
-
Not that I'm complaining, but they should've loaded up the Green Mind reissue with a bunch of the stuff on Whatever's Cool With Me......or simply remastered and reissued that, too.
-
that would have made more sense

I don't really wanna take a dump on the barbeque here but I'm going to. The tracklistings on these Rhino reissues are totally lame and so miserly meagre. Really, WTF? Why does it always seem to be this way with Dinosaur?
Let's be honest. Given all the fantasizing and speculation about the reissues of the SST and Homestead albums that no doubt we all did while waiting for those, weren't they ultimately a dissapointment? I mean, actually omitting the cover version of Show Me The Way, just a couple of bonus tracks, chronological confusions, etc. I know some of us here bitched about it at the time but, ugh! Aren't these latest batch of reissues just like deja vu all over again? -
Well, with the SST albums there wasn't a wealth of material to slap on them, and if J thinks the Frampton cover sucks and didn't want it on there, that's his decision. Chunks and Throw Down would've been nice, though. I didn't consider those reissues a disappointment at all because they sound so fucking good! All the bass punch, the depth of sound, the texture in the guitars -- they're probably the best remastering jobs I've heard, better even than the EMI reissues of Bowie's old catalog, and on par with the consistently incredible remastering done on old reggae and dub albums by the Blood & Fire label (they've set the standard for remastering quality for a decade now). Granted, anything at all would've been an improvement over the horrible SST cds, but those Merge remasters delivered bigtime. I'm hoping these Rhino ones will deliver sonically, and if the job they did with Television's Marquee Moon is any indication, they should.
-

I asked about that at the reunion show in Seattle last year and was told by a woman selling the Dino swag (maybe a wife?) that they weren't able to get the rights to that song again to put it onthe reissue.
Although I have read that J thinks its the worst thing they ever did. :- -

Okay. I've no arguement there but..."King Tubby " said:
Well, with the <a>SST</a> albums there wasn't a wealth of material to slap on them,
They must've had plenty of live stuff to choose from to make them more attractive. I've got a shitty cassette of the entire Vera Groningen show from '87. My tape's bad that was recorded straight from the mixing desk and The Lung from that gig turned up on the "Beauty In The Underworld" compilation. That would've made a wicked companion disc to YLOM. Y'know , just thoughts like that. Whatever J thinks about Show Me The Way, his version rules, end of story. Isn't it on the Jap reissue anyway?
Just Does It Float live on Dinosaur, Just Like Heaven + Video (huh?) on YLAOM, B-side to Freak Scene and a couple of videos on Bug struck me as a bit disappointing.
You know what I meant. I think we were all sort of hoping for "Deluxe" editions i.e. Pavement.
But yeah, sonic improvement is a good thing. -
"Keep the Glove" is such a fantastic addition to Bug. though, it kind of changes the 'climax (?)' to the album. its a huge change to end with Don't and it changes to Keep the Glove. i feel like they just add the bonus tracks to the end (i guess they do?). i'd think an artist every now and then wouldn't like it.
but i do feel they could've added more like they're doing now with Green Mind and Where You Been. -
I like the videos as extras... they could've done that again. Who doesn't have Quest?
-
I picked up the Rhino reissues today and the remastering is great! I can notice the subtle guitar leads in the wagon now and the kck drum in out there is finally on level instead of being to loud like before. the packaging is cool, has the orginal stuff plus a couple extra pages w/ pictures in each booklet. there is a story about each album in there too. all in all im very pleased with the job they did and I am psyched that all the dino albums are starting to sound a whole helluva lot better. I listened to without a sound and whatever's the other day and I think those albums don't really need remastering, but that's just my opinion. when is the cbgb's cd going to be available?
-
I'm pretty disappointed with the "bonus" tracks, yes but have to agree that the first albums needed to be remastered in a bad way. To me, even if they left off the bonus tracks, it would have been worth doing. I'm a little skeptical about the new ones though. I have the bonus tracks in one form or another and Where You Been already sounds great to me. My copy is a little scratched, though, so I'll pick up a new one. Green Mind always sounded a little tinny to me but that doesn't necessarily justify a full re-release. I'll get that one too but only because I'm a huge fan and my copy of green mind has the "Whatever's Cool With Me" cover instead of the right one (I bought it used).
-
Still haven't gotten my pre-orders. Hmmmm.... Need to find the confirmation email I guess.

Me neither!
Bloody Amazon, they haven't even been dispatched 2 days later! -
I ordered mine from that link to Plan9's web site posted far upthread. I am hopeful something will come in today's mail.
-
Got mine today from CDUniverse -- they sound really good, a little fuller in the bass dept and crisper all around. Thumb in particular really shows the difference remastering can make, and even though I had all the bonus tracks except for one (Hide), they round out the albums nicely. In the Where You Been booklet J says he hopes to be able to release a complete Dino video collection -- hopefully someone's listening.
-
Yep I got mine today too. They sound great, definately fuller not only in the bass, but the drums on greenmind sound insane! I really like the CBGB CD too, J seems to talk quite a bit in between the songs which is kind of a rarity these days. All in all I'm very happy with the reissues.
