[2016-04-01] Dave Edmunds "Subtle As A Flying Mallet" repress of 2013 expanded remaster (RPM UK)

Description
Dave Edmunds' 1975 classic rock 'n' roll album reissued with Edmunds' full cooperation and input, plus bonus material from Edmunds' archive. Subtle As A Flying Mallet was Edmunds' second solo LP and its release was preceded by two tracks making top 5 single hits, 'Baby I Love You' and 'Born To Be With You'. The flavour of Subtle As A Flying Mallet is retro rock 'n' roll, something Edmunds is particularly good at re-producing in his own style. The bonus tracks are the two non LP B-sides, plus the tracks recorded by Edmunds for the Stardust film soundtrack making their reissue debut. Most of the recordings on the LP, plus all the bonus session tracks were recorded by Edmunds playing every instrument. Presented in digipak with sleeve-notes including an interview with Edmunds. Album newly re-mastered from the RCA master tapes.

Roberta posted this positive review of RPM's remaster in our old thread for the 2013 pressing:

I got my copy a few days ago and it sounds great. I also have the previous 2006 remaster and the original UK vinyl. In my opinion the new remaster sounds best, followed by the UK vinyl.

Thanks Linda. I missed this reissue the first time around. I won't make that mistake again.

"Subtle As A Flying Mallet'" is a great album and the addition of the "Stardust" tracks is a real bonus, as the vinyl release of that soundtrack sounded quite poorly.

I'm still waiting for my "holy grail", a remaster of Dave's "Get It" album on Swan Song. The original UK vinyl (SS 59404) sounds far superior to any of the subsequent CD releases and hopefully we'll get a proper CD release of this before I turn 90.......
