Hello - wonder if anyone can help. Years ago a pen-friend recorded me a copy of the 2CD version of "To The Bone" - an excellent set and one I listened to loads and decided I must own the proper thing (thanks to my pen friend I started buying their albums - all of which I have (Barring a couple)!) it was then I noticed that the UK version was only a 1 disc version and I really wanted the 2 disc version.
So trawling ebay I picked up a copy - however this had a scratch on CD2 and so some tracks skipped (which was very annoying). So, after a while I purchased ANOTHER version off ebay and guess what? THAT one skipped on CD2 as well! At least if it had skipped on the first I could have combined the copies!
Anyway I did get my money back for that version but it's left me wondering can you BUY a version of the "To The Bone" tracks online? I'd have to listen to my CD again but I don't think EVERY track skips so I'd only need to buy a couple - then I could burn a new blank CD2 to go with my actual album.
If anyone could help then that would be really great!
As far as other Kinks albums - my favourite is "Sleepwalker" (I LOVE the song "Life On The Road") and I recieved "Something Else" (Deluxe) for my birthday the other day - which was nice as it was an album I didn't own in any form. Apart from that I still need the first ever album (glad I waited so I can buy the newer 2CD version), The Percy Soundtrack (which I'm not fussed about - should I be?) and the two MCA albums. Plus I don't have any live albums (except the excellent 2 cd set of live BBC recordings - I think the live versions of "Money Talks" & "Mirror of Love" better than the actual album versions!)
Anyway that's a lot of info! Sorry about that - just like chatting about a great band.
Oh I also got "Working Man's Cafe" for my birthday - which I found really good!
Cheers
MJ
