bluedog Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Has anyone purchased the new CD on Amazon? Was wondering how the quality rates. Really want to get it, but there's no reviews on the Web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 My b'day is next week, and it's been ordered as a b'day present for me. I can let you know once it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmfc1 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I ordered it as soon as Bernie posted about it. Delivery was scheduled for the same week but then it was delayed. It's now scheduled for a two week period beginning in late July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedog Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 bmfc1, how long did it take to arrive? Just wondering...would pay WHATEVER the cost to have those two albums on CD, just want to make sure the quality is worth ordering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmfc1 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 bluedog--it wasn't until shipped today but I have 2 day shipping from Amazon so I'll have it on Wednesday. I won't be the person to comment on quality because, other than the GH album, I don't own any EC records on CD. I will still file a report.

Poptopian cult member Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I just ran across this myspace site for the label that's re-releasing it if anyone's interested: http://www.myspace.com/_americanbeatrecords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmfc1 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 My copy of the reissue arrived today. I know I'm not as good a fan as the rest of you--BATC was my favorite album when I was in college but I never got it on CD. I almost asked my colleagues in the fantasy league to burn a copy for me but that wouldn't have been good economically for Eric. I almost bought a copy from Japan but that wouldn't have been good economically for me. I made due with my taped version until Bernie posted about the American Beat reissue.It's on now and I just heard Nowhere To Hide for the first time in years. When the song goes from the bridge back to the first verse but with the strings added, well, I got chills. It's like seeing an old friend but the friend is still the same and time hasn't diminished the friendship. Maybe I'm babbling but these songs are still as powerful as when I listened to them in my dorm room at Clark University. This is fantastic.

Raspbernie Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I'm with you bmfc1! If I had to choose one (and ONLY one) album to take with me to a deserted island and only be able to listen to that one album for the rest of my life, it would be "Boats!"Bernie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
