I love the remaster for "Astral Weeks"--in fact all three. Too bad that Rhino doesn't see a market to reissue these even as a Rhino Handmade for the U.S. audience. Weren't these pulled from the remasters for vinyl that Steve and Kevin did?

- all picked up (along with 3 or 4 other cd titles) last Saturday during my Record Store Day shopping spree at Princeton Record Exchange. Did not have any of them on my "must-buy" list, but as i was browsing the racks at PREX, these caught my interest.

I usually have to buy online now, in days of yore I would visit record stores every Saturday, and would see all of the new titles all mixed in - a great way to be exposed to something you may not have known existed, and might just enjoy. So all of my cd purchases last Saturday were somewhat unknown / unheard selections that I might not have picked up, most of which I am enjoying quite a bit.

What I miss the most about the lack of B&M stores is browsing the new releases. PREX is an hour drive from my town, so I can't go as often as I would like. The few stores in my immediate area are worthless - over-priced, poor selections, uninformed staff.

 

Rush- Signals 25.8P
Porcupine Tree- Fear of a Blank Planet CD/DVD-A
Steve Wilson- Insurgentes CD/DVD-A
Bass Communion- Loss CD/DVD-A
Steely Dan- Aja MFSL

Really looking forward to all the Steve Wilson stuff as his DVD-A's are always top notch!
