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 '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 books as guides to Exceptional
CD Remasters offering up in-depth reviews on a wide range of titles (30
titles in the series). 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/Deletions have acquired a price tag -
because they're the best I've included them along with artists/titles that deserve
your attention…
Hope you enjoy the reads – MARK BARRY (2024)
