"SOUNDS GOOD: Exceptional CD Remasters - SOUL, FUNK and JAZZ FUSION" - A New Download Book Of Over 240 In-Depth Reviews (Over 2000 E-Pages) by Mark Barry

Here is my new magnum opus in the “SOUNDS GOOD” Series of Download Books – the SOUL, FUNK and JAZZ FUSION Edition. It features over 240 detailed reviews of Exceptional CD Remasters - massaged, worried over and generally felt up in a salacious and slightly worrying manner (over 2100 e-Pages chock full of relevant info). 

And it’s yours to buy and digitally fondle for only $6.99 or £4.99 on Amazon. And what’s more my handsome but illiterate music lovers - with over 2100 e-pages – it’s worth every crooked Nickel and saggy Euro. Why you can practically smell the Talcum Powder and James Brown sock drawer from here…

Love and lubricants to you all – Mark “Gotta Dance” Barry.

When you purchase on Amazon – it automatically downloads the book and the Kindle reading software to your PC or Mac.

Having worked for Reckless Records for over 20 years (one of the best second-hand record shops in London's West End) and having bought/reviewed over 1440 titles (CDs, DVDs and BLU RAYs) - as you can imagine I come across a huge number of reissues - some more worthy than others.

For this 1st Volume of SOUNDS GOOD (concentrating on Seventies Rock and Pop) - I've collated together 100 detailed reviews of what I feel are exceptional CD remasters. Each entry is indepth - focusing on decent remasters - interesting imports - rarities - info that helps a purchase decision etc. 

You get catalogue numbers, barcodes to identify correct issues, playing times, packaging and liner notes descriptions, remaster engineers named and a lot of info on the original album. I often provide a Discography for Box Sets and multiples. These lists include Imports, Audiophile CDs and Japanese SHM-CDs too.

I'll be following the “1970s ROCK and POP ” Kindle e-book with other SOUNDS GOOD titles:

1. SOUNDS GOOD: Soul, Funk and Jazz Fusion 

2. SOUNDS GOOD: Blues, Vocal Groups, R'n'B and R'n'R

3. SOUNDS GOOD: 1960s Rock, Pop, Psych and Garage 

4. SOUNDS GOOD: 1970's Rock and Pop - Volume 2 

Hope you enjoy the read

Making movie suggestions is a precarious business – one man’s Hilton is another man’s Doghouse. And looking at the 100 choices listed below – you could easily holler where’s Blade Runner or Close Encounters Of The Third Kind or Gladiator (and other obvious stuff like that). But I figure any true film buff will already own these.

Volume 1 in this series mixes in the familiar with the off-the-beaten track and covers the letters A to G (with two more clusters of 100 to follow). All time frames are touched upon (1930 to 2013) - with quality restorations you may have missed highlighted too. I hope to have provided you with enough information to tempt - but not enough to spoil it. And I also make no bones about preferring a movie that lifts the spirits up - even if you have to get a bit bloodied en route.

Each four/five star review is based on the UK BLU RAY release (Region B) – and if the film is only available elsewhere – I’ve incorporated US and EURO versions where their Region Coding will allow play on our machines.

Technical info also includes – Aspect Ratio, Audio Settings, Languages, Subtitles and Extras etc.

The download book can be bought for £2.47 at the above link.

Hope you enjoy it…
