I don't know anything about the "Rdeg" label, but whenever I've come across
albums I was looking for, from master tape, digitally, Rdeg has always been
horrible vinyl quality!]]> Sun, 12 Nov 2023 18:15:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9989&PID=63949&title=new-al-stewart-compilation#63949 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9989&PID=63733&title=new-al-stewart-compilation#63733 Author: VWestlife

The single version of "Paint by Numbers" is also a unique mix, with an additional lead guitar to make it sound even more hard rock.

And I'd love to finally get a proper digital re-release of the album by Al's band, Shot In The Dark. The copy that Rdeg released online in 2019 is just a very poor quality MONO needle-drop of the LP, played slightly too fast!

Speaking of which, the single of SITD's "Playing With Lightning" is an early fade of the album version.]]> Sun, 01 Oct 2023 16:55:55 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9989&PID=63733&title=new-al-stewart-compilation#63733 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9989&PID=63683&title=new-al-stewart-compilation#63683 Author: peterpyser

They have re-stocked it. I didn't see it there yesterday, but it's there now and I
just ordered it. It's $17.99 + shipping. It's also on amazon if Real Gone runs out
- but it's a bit more there, $24.99 right now.]]> Wed, 13 Sep 2023 15:46:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9989&PID=63595&title=new-al-stewart-compilation#63595 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9989&PID=63594&title=new-al-stewart-compilation#63594 Author: JMD1961

Not having the 45 itself to compare to it, I can't say for
certain. But I believe it is the right edit, if for no
other reason that they actually mention the chorus being
repeated after the solo in the liner notes.]]> Wed, 13 Sep 2023 15:22:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9989&PID=63594&title=new-al-stewart-compilation#63594 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9989&PID=63591&title=new-al-stewart-compilation#63591 Author: Santi Paradoa

I just thought I'd point out that Real Gone Music has
released a limited edition collection of all of Al
Stewart's U.S. singles in the single edits. It's limited
to 2500 copies.

I got mine today and the sound is really nice.

https://realgonemusic.com/collections/new-
releases/products/al-stewart-songs-on-the-radio-complete-
u-s-singles-74-81-cd

Unfortunately, when I went to the website to get the
hyperlink, it's listed as "sold out". Amazon had copies
when I looked last week. Maybe some are still there.
