Hey Kory (and Marky), what do you think the best masterings of the Joy Division catalog are? I have the 2-disc editions that were released in, what, 2007? Is it worth digging around for some earlier (or later) CD issues?

I have those ones too. It's been forever since I heard the earlier issues, which a lot of people say are better because the 2-discers pumped up the bass. And of course I believe they're bricked. It's my understanding based on word of mouth that the Heart and Soul box is the best master. I have it, but I haven't A/B'd with any of the others so I can't speak from any experience. The 2-discers do me well because I like bass, and this is a band where more bass is pretty welcome.

Was the Heart and Soul set a remaster job of the first cd's? That's the one I tend to play, but more out of convenience than an awareness that it's better sounding.

That's my understanding. I know it's a new master after those originals, but I'm not sure what the source was. Given that people think it's the best ones, I'd imagine it's from the tapes.

I only have the Heart & Soul box and it sounds very good to my ears.

Speaking of JD, this is another favourite. I only learned a few months ago that Sumner and Hook trade instruments on this one, yet do remarkable impressions of each other.

Awesome, thanks guys. Saw a copy of heart and soul for 30 bucks so snatched it up.

You owe me. And. I. Will. Collect. This, I swear.
(This works better if you can imagine a Kirby drawing where the hero/villain raises their fist to the sky, with perspective making it seem overly large. Also, imagine me as a Kirby hero/villain.)

Hmmm, this is actually how I imagine all our interactions, so this tracks.

Flex owes me nothing as long as he keeps his monthly payments going.

He definitely has ankles like a deer and has pouches all over his clothes.

Oh fuck THIS we are throwing down as soon as I get to Tucson.
I’ll bring my gun that’s as big as two normal adults.
