All we need is music, sweet music...
There'll be music everywhere
2020 will see the next batch of limited-edition singles remastered on 7-inch colored vinyl. Each features newly commissioned artwork and will only be available at dead.net. Didn't subscribe last year but want to collect the whole set? Singles 1-11 (soon to be 1-12) are available a la carte in the Dead.net store.
The first release, arriving March 1, will be (you guessed it) 1977's “Dancin' In The Streets” b/w "Terrapin Station.” This limited-edition reissue features newly remastered audio, transferred from the original analog master tape of the stereo single mix, mastered by Grammy-winning engineer David Glasser with original artwork by Helen Kennedy.
Other volumes to be released in 2020 include:
“Passenger”/“Terrapin Station”
“Good Lovin'”/“Stagger Lee”
“Shakedown Street"/"France"
Missing digital downloads.
Just got #13 and the link for the download. But I never got a link for #12 when I got the vinyl. Anyone know how to get the missing digital for #12?
Cover Art?
For all these releases, it has been obvious to me which song is depicted on the front & rear of the sleeve. And that has corresponded to what seems to be the A/B sides of the release.
The only exceptions are the Eyes/Weather Report & Music Never Stopped/Help on the Way releases.
On the former, I though the front picof the desert sands "Circle songs and sands of time" is clearly Weather Report. Plus, talk of desert springs & waters all are dry. The back looks like Eyes "sometimes we ride your horses". Am I off or do you think they just reversed the A/B side pictures or listing?
Ditto on Music/Help. I don't really get a strong depiction of either song from the art. But the speaker with the thumbs up on the back says Music to me, and the boat almost at the island says more Help on the Way. Again, am I off or do you think they just switched the A/B order?
