![]() (I know.I can feel heat just writing that.) The seem to have a cache with younger people as being something cool to like. The only exceptions I can think of for those independent stores might be individual (vinyl) album titles for Zeppelin, Hendrix and, to a far lesser extent, The Beatles. The corporate chains of the Peaches and later Tower era are gone, and young indie store customers are primarily interested in new bands of their time, not The Bee Gees album back catalog or similar. No one sells physical product in regular retail stores anymore, a small smattering of hip hop, bro country and a hits cd by whoever died recently notwithstanding.Ī city has to be a pretty good size to even have a *single* record store. In North America, it's probably more like 95 percent. I know the endless repetition of compilations is annoying when you'd rather have other things, but consider:ĩ0 percent of people who would ever buy a Bee Gees cd or download are doing so for the hits, specifically the hits from Jive Talkin to Love You Inside Out. Does anyone know the DR numbers for Timeless? Overall, this is definitely worth the low price and the SQ is a nice change of pace from the Rhino editions but the track-list needs a little more variety. Now, I don't know why Barry keeps pushing You Win Again, but IMO, it should not be on this 's on the Rhino NUMBER ONES and the new Polydor reissue also, so it's overkill putting it on TIMELESS.they could have included an even better song from One or Still Waters perhaps?Īlso, unlike the Rhino comps which do have firm tone, you need to turn up the bass and midrange on TIMELESS a little bit, the tone is more laid back, which is a running trend sometimes with Universal related CDs, but TIMELESS does sound more dynamic to me compared to the Rhino comps. Rhino successfully toned down the brightness for this song though. However, Staying Alive is once again very bright, just like on the Capitol SNF reissue CD. The Fever stuff sounds the best actually and THIS is how their SNF reissue should have sounded instead of just reusing the old '95 remaster. This comp definitely sounds newly remastered to me and different from the Rhino comps for sure! The 60s songs are nice and clear but need more bass though. I listened to TIMELESS today and here are a few observations: Spicks and Specks sounds ok and I don't have it on another CD to compare it with, but it sounds like they didn't do too much to make it sound even better?
