4 New Remasters have been released, Crusade, Bare Wires and Blues From Laurel Canyon all have bonus tracks while The Diary of a Band is a 2 cd set with no bonus tracks.Each cd is just over 46 minutes long,I wonder why they didn't release any bonus tracks with these, thought they should have live cuts from that period!

I wonder how the sound is on the "Bare Wires" remaster, if I recall correctly this was a horrible sounding record. The performances were great (early Mick Taylor doing some awesome playing) but the sound quality was not good at all. Maybe they were able to clean it up so it is listenable.

Welcome to IMWAN, Riccardo. Here we go ~ these remasters are all imports to us in the States, BTW:

Thanks Linda. As for B.Wires I'm just listening to it, the sound is very very good.Remastering has increased volume and guitar is upfront as it should be.
