Better shut down all manufacturers of CD-ROM devices, all manufacturers of CD-Rs and all designers of CD-burning software while you're at it, if this whole industry is illegal. It is perfectly legal to sell a CD you have purchased to anyone if you object to this practice, you need to shut down every used-CD store and everyone on ebay, not just me. The original CD is my own personal property to dispense with as I please. Whether or not I make a personal copy for use in the car, in a portable CD player or to keep for whatever use I deem appropriate is my own business, I have paid for the CD, Congress guarantees my right to make a copy for my own use. If you were right, no one could sell any used copy of any CD to anyone under any circumstances after all, on the used market, the artist and label don't get diddly-squat for the sale of the used CD, money is only exchanged between the two people making the transaction. We're getting way off-topic now, but I completely disagree with you. I just don't want to see a Forum member get in trouble by posting about performing illegal activities. I don't work in the music industry so I don't worry about people getting paid their royalties as part of my job. If more than one person plays the CD simultaneously with only 1 copy having been purchased one of the copies is considered to be illegal. The legality can be sorted out by the number of people who play the CD simultaneously. Royalties have only been paid for one copy.īoth of these cases are equally illegal. Two people now have the music on CD with only one copy having been legally purchased. Royalties have only been paid for one copy. The only difference is in the number of resulting copies. Selling the original and keeping the copy is the same thing as keeping the original and selling the copy. It is only legal to make a copy for personal archival purposes. It is illegal, because now two people have the music on CD when only one copy was purchased. FWIW, I've been very pleased in general with the quality of the Essential Collections I've bought so far, this one might be pretty good for someone looking for a 2CD set. The also have a new Essential Collection on Sony out in 2004. That should round out my collection nicely! I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has Go For Your Guns and Showdown in remastered form (if they exist at all) or what the best CD versions are for these, or if anyone has some other earlier albums to suggest. Have this one on order, I'm assuming it's also by Palmaccio. 1975 album remastered in 2001 by Joseph Palmaccio on Sony/Legacy. Again, another winner, not a bad track on here, a little ballad-heavy, starting to drift a little bit into more sedate "adult-contemporary" territory, but still vital, still has that funk edge.ĥ. 1976 album remastered in 2001 by Joseph Palmaccio on Sony/Legacy. In fact, all the albums from this period are very similar in sound and quality, if you like one you'll probably like the rest.Ĥ. This album is also almost as good as 3 +3, maybe even heavier on the funk. Lots of midrange goodness, very full and creamy and analogue-y, his CDs sound as good as many SACDs to me. Joseph Palmaccio is fast becoming one of my personal favorite mastering engineers, he does a lot of older soul/R&B/funk stuff, and IMO, he really has a feel for it, I've yet to be disappointed with anything he's touched. 1974 album remastered in 2004 by Joseph Palmaccio on Sony/Legacy. Man, everything from the 70s sounds so much better than today's recordings, it seems.ģ. GREAT album, too, every bit as good as 3 + 3. Yes! Another real winner, he did an outstanding job. 1972 album remastered on Sony/Legacy in 1997 by Tom Ruff. They also remastered 3 + 3 for CD at the same time, it comes with a bonus track, also sounds great, essentially the same as the SACD without the hi-rez part.Ģ. Friggin' GREAT! Considered by many to be their best album, this 1973 album is well-recorded, and sounds terrific in hi-rez. Discs 1 & 2 from their "classic" period (60s/70s) set me off on a journey to dig deeper and get more, focusing on their 70's peak period in particular.ġ. Disc 3 covers their later 80's/90's output in which they seem to suffer from the awful R&B production of the time, and seem to be relegated to gross bedroom "booty" songs. It's pretty good sonically, but a little "digital" and slightly grainy. Did not record who mastered this (copied it and sold it). It's Your Thing: Story of The Isley Bros. so far! Don't have their own thread, so I thought I'd kick one off.ġ.
