ROB SEZ: A SPECIAL POST TO CELEBRATE PASSING THE 200,000 HITS MARK. I had a ton of fun with this, totally geeking out as a deeBs fan boy. Like the other "Classic Albums Revisited" projects, I used only the best-quality sources (soundboard and FM in this case) and chose inspired performances from all the shows in my collection. This is my all-time favorite album, the one that inspired this blog...

  1. A MODEST (but pretty essential) BONUS:

    Chris and Peter’s track­by­track notes for the I.R.S. release of Repercussion on CD in 1989.I know this edition of Repercussion is really hard to find, so I’m thinking a lot of dB’s fans may never have seen these.They’re a ton of fun for the obsessive/trainspotter types (like me), with tasty info about the recording and song­writing process.
