Hi all! Long time! The most wonderful thing is that every new release makes us anxious like kids, elevates us from our everyday life and  brings us back here to discuss it!
I find wonderful that GH and STP are finally released in vinyl. It is a something I have wanted like Dusty. I know that this release does not offer something new apart from the format for these two releases, but I also believe that although these (vinyl) releases target the fans, due to being over 140 Euros, the price is fantastic! Imagine having his first period solo releases, all in all 11 LPs for 140 Euros. It is a bargain. And the CD price is even better, merely 35 Euros. I felt the same for the CD - Dire Straits boxset last year which was even cheaper, around 25-30 Euros. Of course for those who already have them,  it might seem hard to come up with 140 Euros just to get the same old releases  - just for the two first solo albums. And of course, the fact that they are remastered does not mean anything until we know if it is better sounding than the already in circulation. But imagine the music fans that will take advantage of the CD release to enjoy and  discover MK's solo work. Maybe we will have some of them write here after a couple of months after the release. Anyway, music is one of the things that make life worth living. The marketing side of music will always discourage and disappoint many of us, but these releases are relatively cheaply priced.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

An additional Gravy Train B-Sides album is also a good idea.

It's nice to have the official stuff now on vinyl completely. But I believe any other artist would at least have put one or two (or three) really new songs onto this release.

Nice to have you back!

I was listening to LoG vfrom my DS vinyl box yesterday and it really sounds amazing, hopefully these MK records are just as good.

Thank you guys! Nice to see you all again! I am really sorry I miss out, but long hours at work,  leave little time for much else. Thankfully, now, I  work in a record store and cover the music part efficiently enough to not miss it at home!
