The sound is absolute crap... I turn the volume dial all the way up and still can't hear it in the shower, and of course then I forget the volume is all the way up and nearly blast my ears out when I put another CD in :roll: :roll: :roll: And YHTBT was released outside the CDCP series and still to ...

OK, intimidate me for my age and assume I have no personal problems. I don’t believe this… :roll:

Why does the fact that I’m being a rebel and actually fighting against the obvious junk MCA put on the market mean I have nothing else in my life to think about?

It really goes beyond photos, paintings and liner notes etc, it’s the pure disrespect towards Jimmy. I’m really not obligating you to write any letter or telling you how to feel. If you wish to remain apathetic about such a major problem, go ahead, it won’t bother me any.

This has been my biggest displeasure with CD's for years. You can’t beat the sound quality of CD’s, but album art is definitely a lost talent. I really miss the inspiration and originality in album art, especially that of the vinyl covers of the 70’s and 80’s. Some of Jimmy’s covers are no exceptio...

Also try using the new Ask Jimmy feature at M'ville. Given that the people in charge at M'ville.com foward the messages, you'll get the message right to the big man himself. The lack of artwork and liner notes in the CDs has got to stop. Virtually every other CD on the planet contains a complete art...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/parrotmonkey/ladi34timeinside.jpg Thanks to AMC, we now have a flat scan and an archive of this image that has been lost for 25+ years. This is the one thing I think that should make everyone protest for CD reissues. Lots of effort went into that painting. htt...

Like I said, I AGREE for the most part, his voice is past its heyday, but by no means was the performance “lousy”. The song Love and Mercy was perfect for the situation. You are of course entitled to your own opinion, it’s the fact that he was performing to help rebuild lives and as a dedication to ...

Yes, I know I could have sounded mean, and I apologize if it was “out of line”. Criticizing an album- promoting Leno performance is one thing, but I just thought dissecting Brian’s voice at this moment and time was a little inappropriate. It’s not that I disagree with any of you, I know his voice is...

It is a very consistent album. I sometimes skip over I Used to Have Money one Time and Livin’ It Up (by no means “bad” material, it’s just that the rest of the album surpasses them). With his great covers of Stars on the Water, Brown Eyed Girl and California Promises, as well as originals that rank ...

It's on MSNBC here. Brian Wilson is singing, sorta :o my thoughts exactly :o ummm... uhhh... You’re both thinking of the same Brian Wilson, the former Beach Boy who went through years of depression and drug use, right? :-? Add that to the fact a band member (Markus Sundland) has gone missing in the...

That little logo in the bottom corner of Live By The Bay, has a lot to do with it. You can't release what you don't own. Yes, yes, I know that. But MCA/Universal is a company that does DVDs like everyone else, and if they were talked into it in their language ($$) by Jimmy and HK (the only people t...

Yes he is, which is why it must be obvious that he is waiting for a time releasing it will make the most money. Well, there's no time like the present, IMO at least. I have no idea what other huge moment yet to come that he would be waiting for. I honestly don't think that the thaught of reissuing ...

Great album... actually my first, bought it the day it came out (the irony of that is that I was like 6 or 7 8) ) I was the same age and remember my parents getting it in 1994. Can't beleive that was 10 (going on 11) years ago already! Seems like only yesterday that it was "The new Jimmy Buffe...

Remember, like I said in other threads, you can write a letter to HK Managment and tell them that you want these two features on DVD.

I agree Jimmy is a smart business man, but not with this situation. It is indeed easy and inexpensive to transfer them DVD, so it's almost a cash-in.

Strange this topic is being braught up now. I just got the Music for Montserrat DVD for Christmas and watched it the other night. I guess Jimmy was really nervous, because he said he went to Air Studios to make Volcano in 1982. And it wasen't like he just made a slip or anything, he kept saying it w...
