flac or mp3 the whole series and we’ll all have them by Christmas anyway. Some enterprising kind soul will no doubt work out how to. I’d be straight out to buy that box set. Just as well we live in the digital age. Stick in a couple of packets of those cigarette papers he sold at his concerts a few years ago. Maybe even a plectrum. Maybe include an old Betamax tape of a classic Fillmore East show or something. He should’ve released it as a vinyl box set. Total contempt for his quickly reducing fanbase. Especially listened to through your telly. Old Shakey knows the hardcore fans are going to buy the discs and the equipment to play it on but he really has gone about the release of ‘Archives’ in all the wrong way. I don’t believe Blu-Ray can be that fantastic. You would expect the box set to cost a fortune anyway, but Blu-Ray! Blu-Ray! That’ll make it super-expensive! How many people own the hardware? Does old whiny Neil have shares in the company that makes it? I think he must. Blu-Ray might sound better, but to yer average ex-hippy turned bank manager, will it be that much of a difference? Will the high notes ring that wee bit clearer? Will the harmonies soar that wee bit further? Will you notice the sound of plegm on harmonica that wee bit better? I don’t think so. But you can play them through your telly. Blu-Ray! You can’t listen to the discs on your CD player.
‘Archives’ will be released solely on Blu-Ray. But if like me you’ve been waiting 10 or so years for this, September is but a hold-your-breath moment away. The release of his long-talked about ‘ Archives’ series is just around the corner. Well.
