Right on!
BTW, a new 'legacy Edition' of Jeff Buckley's 'Grace' has just been released. There's a second CD with 'unreleased' and live stuff and a DVD with the released videos and a 30-minute doc about the recording of Grace. No mysteries resolved but nice (albeit brief) footage from Bearsville Studios, interviews with Jeff and Andy Wallace, etc.
The killer though is the first CD, a new remaster of Grace. I was apprehensive at best, given the slightly 'vulturesque' handling of Jeff's legacy and also the 'crushing' common on new remasters.
The remaster was done by George Marino and it's friggin' GREAT! I liked the original CD but here you get additional depth and details and a sound that makes you want to crawl inside the speakers. Best of all, there's no unnecessary level pushing and rather less compression than on the original release.
At least partly my faith in record companies is restored........
