Harem Scarem - Thirteen

[Glen]

did i mention how great they are live. Zero chance of Vega playing Oz I know, but if they ever do, sell a testicle to see them.

[Geoff]

You know I would. But yeah, chances are basically 0.

 

And out of curiosity, I'd be interested if you played Vega and HS back to back. If you identify Vega as poor production, I'd be interested to see what you think when you play it before or after HS. I know the drums and vocals sound 100% better on Vega, at least...

If everyone likes it so much I have the 2CD Japanese version with bonus track I will sell you

 

I'll bite. How much?

 

Seriously though, I wouldn't mind picking it up. I only have the promo digital audio from Frontiers, and I'm curious as to how the fidelity actually stacks up comparisonwise.

 

I paid $36 + shipping for it but I'd sell it for $24 + shipping if interested. I think it sounds just fine but I have nothing to compare it to. I am usually very picky with production but I hear no issues with it at all. At least on the Japan issue which is a SHMCD.

[Mullethead]

Oh and the bonus live cd is almost all Mood Swing tracks I believe.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

It should be. It was recorded during their Mood Swings II Tour.

[Mullethead]

Thanks to everyone who PM'd about the HS cd. Dan is going to be the proud owner

 

Thanks!

[Glen]

Still surprised youre getting rid of it mate - gets better with each spin.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

You clearly didn't read his other thread. He's going all digital - just buying, ripping, then re-selling. So he isn't actually getting rid of it.

[Glen]

Oh ok. No I didnt. Fair enough then.

[AlphaMale]

I love this disc. It is awesome and a welcome return!

 

Now Playing: White Widdow - Crossfire

[Mullethead]

Yes, what he said I will always buy, support the artist but then sell it off. Newer stuff I generally sell $8-$12 cheaper than the purchase price so someone will get a deal. I am doing high quality scans of everything, including the obi's. Also ripping at 320...my car stereo plays off a hard drive usb so it works for me and still sounds perfect

[Glen]

That is actually illegal, but hey ho ;-)

[KarpetRydOFunk]

That is actually illegal, but hey ho ;-)

Maybe in the UK, but copyright laws are not the same in every country. For example, in Canada it is perfectly legal to download media, but it is illegal to upload it. So, we only target the people illegally distributing music and video and other media on the line.

I be surprised if it was legal to sell the cd but keep the mp3s in the states, as u say its illegal in the UK.

[Geoff]

That is really illegal??? Holy shit. This world, hey...

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Right?

"Uh, I purchased the disc, I should have the right to sell it. And I acquired these files legally from said disc; why should I delete them after?"

Well you no longer own the original recording.

 

Back on topic, lovin HS. God these guys know how to write a hook.

They do know how to write a hook. And the most foolish thing to do would be to judge Harem Scarem's brilliance on the albums carrying that band name alone. This week sent me on a full HS kick, and when you include the 2 Hess discs ('Living In Yesterday,' for all intent and purposes, is a complete HS album), the two Fiore discs ('Today Till Tomorrow' is lethally good) and Dr Rock & The Wild Bunch's 'Stark Raving Mad,' all of which are basically Harem Scarem albums, it truly is an amazing discography.

 

Brilliant, brilliant band. On a side note, what on earth ever happened to Jon Fiore after those 2 discs in 1998? Horrible singer, but given a golden ticket with Hess & Lesperance on board.

Backed.

 

I'd also add Lesperance's Down In It album which is excellent.

 

& of course First Signal.....a massive fav of mine and my fav album in its year of release.

As much as I do love HS(and I do), my favorite Harry Hess in full is First Signal. I know he did not write any of if, but I love everything about it, his vocals, the guitars, the production and the writing.

Yeah, it's not as simple as that, because you own the disc, and the inserts, and the jewel case, but you don't own the music. Essentially, you only own the vessel that transports the music to you. Same with mp3's. You own the files, but not the music. So, why is it illegal to legally purchase one vessel (CD/Vinyl/Cassette) convert it into a different vessel (mp3/all the other file variants), and then sell the original vessel?

 

I'm actually gonna ask my friends, again. One is a lawyer - and she studied law in London, so she might actually be familiar with your copyright laws - one other had to learn copyright law as part of his audio recording schooling, and three are in the film industry, so somebody should be able to sort this out.

Yep. Amazing album. And I like that it's considered a Canadian band on the main site. ;}

[Geoff]

Yeah, I rated the First Signal this week and was surprised by how much I do love it. It's a fantastic disc. I love that and Lesperance's 'Down in it' but didn't include them in my post above because they're associated with Harem Scarem only in personnel rather than style, if you get my meaning. Neither really sound like HS at all, despite being very good. Fiore and Dr Rock sound a lot more like HS than First Signal, lol!

[PeterS]

Been spinning this one the last two days and really getting into it. Late in the year but one of the best, for sure.
