From the superb audio quality (much > brighter and cleaner) Forgot to comment on this: For years, a friend of mine kept on telling me: "Dude, you GOTTA hear the difference on Japanese CD imports - the sound quality is @$#&ing awesome! It blows that domestic crap away." But I could never prove this statement to be true because there was nowhere to buy import CDs in this area (this was about 4-5 years ago, before import CDs became so fashionably popular). Then, after a bit of searching, I bought my first Japanese import: Yes' "Yesshows," a 2-CD live recording which was initially released in 1980. The album could be found here in the states on both cassette and LP, but the CD was non-existent (except, of course, in Japan). Upon listening to it for the first time, I was totally blown away - the sound quality, especially for a live recording, was just simply pristine. Later, as import CDs became easier to find, I started getting the Basia stuff - the BEST REMIXES CDs were the first. > to the photos (the cover and the green tinted picture > opposite the "Run For Cover" lyrics blow me away - what a doll!), and > even the choice of typefaces and backgrounds for the printed insert - > it all points to the care and thought that went into this product. Dennis is absolutely right. The first CD was gorgeous! And I kinda feel bad for him because he didn't get the Japanese version which is even NICER than the one he got! Granted, Sony Japan only did a half-hearted job on the packaging for the second CD, but still... And what did the US fans get? We got BRAVE NEW HOPE, a hack version of both CDs. Although, the BEST REMIXES CDs make for a nice little collectors' item, seeing as how you can't just walk into your local record shop and pick them up in the domestic bins. Still, I could never understand why Sony Japan also released BRAVE NEW HOPE in Japan (I think it came on both 3" and 5") - they already had the BEST REMIXES CDs - what more did they need? Toodles!

The first CD is listed as "Low Stock" which usually means that they actually have it but they only have a few copies of it. In other words, if you want it, you better act fast. Toodles!

Why does the Austrian version have a "Made in Japan" label on the case? (Furthermore, why is it printed in English?) Now I hear talk of Remix II. What's that all about? Is it something different? I have never heard of that one. BTW, my local Music Plus has had the same Remix copy hanging around for several months now. Now I know it's the Japanese version! The Japanese writing should have been a clue, don't you think? ;) Maybe I'll pick it up - don't ask why. Because it's there I guess...

Almond" Date: Thu, 20 Jun 1996 09:01:10 -0500 Subject: Chef Basia If someone has already noted the following on this network, I apologize for the duplication. A friend just sent me a book titled "A Musical Feast: Recipes from over 100 of the World's Most Famous Musical Artists," which was published in 1995 by Global Liaisons. Various recording artists contributed recipes to the book to help raise funds for the homeless. The contributors are quite an eclectic group, ranging from Paul and Linda McCartney and Mick Jagger to Tony Bennett, Dolly Parton, Hootie and the Blowfish, Cher, Placido Domingo, and--the reason for posting this--Basia. Her recipe for Polish Bigos appears on page 13, along with her autograph and two pictures of her eating. A one-sentence description of each artist appears at the back of the book. Here's what they wrote about Basia: "The Polish-born Basia has attained international success with her platinum albums Time and Tide and London Warsaw New York." Basia's recipe entails more than zapping a dish in the microwave or dumping something in a bowl (i.e., cereal) and pouring milk over it, so please don't ask whether I've tried making bigos. If anyone has a true yearning for Basia's bigos, let me know and I will e-mail the recipe next week.

Thanks for the clarification. I know what to look for now. Now, if Buffalo only had a good import store.... BTW, in my day (I really didn't want to say that), a single meant a slab of vinyl with one song on each side. OK, they also came in two speeds, 78 or 45 RPM. I'm going waaay back here, folks. The singles you listed had more tracks than some CD's! Den - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis J.
