Poor Mastering Job
By all means this rating isn't for the album in general, but the mastering job is terrible. They need to re-release this on CD with better sound absolutely!
BAD ENERGY
Extremely disappointing. This item has either being badly remastered or not remastered at all. Dreadful sound. Hopefully Cherry Red UK will pick this up and do it properly.
GREAT ALBUM BUT "WOUNDED BIRD RECORDS" SHOULD HAVE SENT THIS CD MASTER BACK TO SONY MUSIC AND TOLD THEM TO DO IT RIGHT.
THE CD MASTER THAT SONY MUSIC HAS SENT WOUNDED BIRD RECORDS FOR RELEASE SOUNDS REALLY HARSH AND IT'S KILLING THERE REPUTATION. THERE IS NO REASON FOR A CD RELEASE THESE DAYS NOT TO SOUND BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL VINYL ALBUM DID UNLESS THE MASTER TAPE IS DAMAGED.COME ON GUYS IF SOUNDS LIKE S*** THROW IT OUT DON'T SETTLE.... RELEASE SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD UNTIL SONY MUSIC GETS THERE ACT TOGETHER.THE RHINO/WARNER BROTHERS RECORDS RELEASES FROM WOUNDED BIRD SOUND REALLY GOOD.WARNER BROTHERS RECORDS AND RHINO TAKE MORE PRIDE IN THERE WORK THAN SONY MUSIC IT SEEMS.
Epic
As the other reviewer stated, if you care at all about AI or Kelly, this is a must-see. The free surfing in the latter part of the film is absolutely incredible and a reminder of why these two are who they are. There is a reason why Kelly is known as the best surfer ever. Watch it and you'll understand.
Solid documentry but seen better
This gives a cool history of both Slater and B Irons, and their rivalry and friendship, but I felt like it was kind of an overview and did not give much back round into eithers evolution. It also did not have a ton of surfing clips, just snippits here and there, wish I could have seen whole sessions at their contests..
In The Shadow of the Crown
I always love Jean Plaidy's books, and this is no exception. It is delightfully written in the first person, as though Mary herself is talking. An unusual approach to historical fiction. Thanks, Jean.
