With the 50-year copyright law allowing truckloads of budget compilations to flood the market (especially when it comes to Oldies from the Forties, Fifties and early Sixties) – it’s hard to know what’s audio chaff and what’s aural crème-del-la crème. 

Having worked for over 20 years in one of the best second-hand record shops in the West End as a principal buyer (Reckless Records)  - I've collated together hundreds of detailed reviews on what I feel are exceptional CD remasters – albums and compilations you probably don't own but should. 

BOOK 5 in the SOUNDS GOOD Music Books Series covering Blues, Vocal Groups, Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll on CD features 225 in-depth reviews on Exceptional Remasters that runs to over 1,556 E-pages.  

Each entry focuses on decent remasters with indepth info that helps a purchase decision. You get catalogue numbers, barcodes to identify correct issues, track lists including info on original issues like album and 7” single catalogue numbers, total playing times, packaging and liner notes descriptions, what important guests played on what, cover versions highlighted, remaster engineers named and a lot of info on the original album. 

I provide a Discography for Box Sets and these lists also include Imports, some Audiophile Titles and Japanese SHM-CDs too where relevant or exclusive. Enjoy...
