Having worked for RECKLESS RECORDS in London for over 20 years as one of their principal Vinyl and CD buyers (one of the best secondhand record shops in the West End) and having been an Amazon 'Hall Of Fame' Reviewer six times - as you can imagine - I come across (and still do) a huge number of reissues - some far more worthy than others. To that end I've collated together these SOUNDS GOOD books as guides to Exceptional CD Remasters offering up in-depth reviews on a wide range of titles.

And it doesn’t have to cost the earth to Sound Good either – you just need to know which CD is the right issue to buy. Many entries in this large and unique book cost less than £10 while others are under a fiver. And even if some Box Sets and Deletions have acquired a price tag - because they’re the best I’ve included them too while at the same time trying to highlight artists and titles that deserve your attention - good stuff that you may have missed…

Hope you enjoy the reads – Mark Barry (2024)
