not much really, just a look at a most reasonably splendid album chart performance by two relatively "new" releases, to be sure.
it was a week and a bit ago that i celebrated two double disc releases on the same day, with yes one of them being that there Guns N Roses lot. apparently it was not just me, or if you will i, or indeed moi, that found these releases to be most splendid.
number six it is, then, for the fancy newly "remastered" version of Appetite For Destruction off of Guns N' Roses, along with a whole raft of actually worthwhile extras.
the thing that is most pleasing about this is that you just know this is predominantly built up of people buying an actual product, be it the CD or vinyl. whilst i am not 100% sure, i believe that chap at number one, who for some reason has a duck like name, got there by all this "streaming" nonsense, where no money exchanges hands and it's fairly easy to rig a chart position with an office full of computers.
most splendid to see Bowie crack the top 20 with the CD release of Welcome To The Blackout too, of course. i had no idea that it would be so popular. whereas it is a most excellent CD set, it is one from his "less commercial" era - one that has had commercial success over the years, i suppose.
so, then, i was not the only one out there enthusiastic for these releases. most happy day, seeing this makes me feel a good deal less alone and isolated.
dig what you dig, and, to be sure,
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
