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 in
excess of 4,000 posts on Amazon (CDs, DVDs, BLU RAYs - Hall Of Fame Reviewer) -
as you can imagine I 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.
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 and titles
that deserve your attention…
Enjoy the reads - MARK BARRY
