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 a Hall Of Fame Reviewer on Amazon six times - as you can imagine I have come across a huge number of reissues - some far more worthy than others.

To that end I've collated together these SOUNDS GOOD Music 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 (see My Index below and Side Adverts for the entire 32-Book Series).

The twofer reissue/compilation has been a feature of CD reissues closing on 35 years now and the truth is that this e-brute could probably contain 500 entries - but you have to draw the line somewhere (and when newbies arrive worthy of inclusion, I will update to accommodate).

 

Downloadable on any Amazon site, many entries in this large and unique e-book can cost less than £5 (you're getting big dids for small quids) - others sell regularly for under ten and imports a bit more (there are a few Japanese SHM-CD entries - new additions include "1962-1966" and "1967-1970" by THE BEATLES from November 2023). Here in early 2024 for instance, Amazon UK has the gorgeous and revealing "Let It Be: 2CD Edition" Remaster by THE BEATLES from 2020 on sale for £5:12! It will undoubtedly rise sooner rather than later - but that's the kind of deal you want to grab. And that's where my e-book comes in - advising on what to seek out from the jaws of one that already did. 

 

And even if some Major Label or Independent Label limited editions have acquired a nasty price tag since deletion - because they're the best - I've included them along with other artists/titles that deserve your attention…

Enjoy the reads - MARK BARRY (2024)
