I love Burning Bridges.
Special Editions 2010 was a great missed opportunity.. These editions should have contained an extra CD, to fill rare stuff from the vault, such as demos, unreleased songs, live tracks, soundcheks etc ...
Does anyone know if these editions sold well?
They also need one person of guide for choosing live material, they really need one. These special editions would have been decent if they chose interesting tracks, but with the exception of 3 or 4 tracks, the rest were disappointing.
New Jersey Deluxe Edition 2014, it was great, but could easily have been better. They just needed to add Rosie, In America and Does Anybody Really Fall in Love Anymore? polished version. In the end, I also want to point out the mixing & mastering that Obie made was not very good, it even becomes annoying, it drills my ear (Like Seb once said, sound crystal clear, yet rather dead). However the Box Set is very well mixed and mastered, George Marino has been a great loss for this band, he took care of all the albums until that he died away in 2012. He was one of the best engineers mastering songs. I wonder how NJ demos, WAN, THINFS and 2020 would have sounded with his touch.
What's in the box?
