827.0. "It's a Beautiful Day/White Bird" by UNIVAX::SCHREIBER (Nothing ever goes away) Thu Jul 23 1987 23:24

    I picked up "It's a Beautiful Day" the other day.  You may remember
    that it's the album that has "White Bird", "Hot Summer Day", "Girl
    With No Eyes", and several other great tunes.
    
    The vinyl is apparently worth $ now, because the album is out of
    production (it was on Columbia).
    
    The CD is on "San Francisco Sound", made by Polydor in W. Germany.
    It's apparently going to have a short life, as I was told there
    was a lawsuit in progress regarding it.
    
    I won't tell you what I paid, suffice to say I could have bought
    several normal CDs (but I *really* like the album, so...).  I also
    followed Benn's first theorem of buying CDs: If you see the CD,
    and there aren't many of them, buy it now, because it will definitely
    be unavailable later.
    
    The sound is great, there seems to be very little hiss.
    
    Has anyone else seen this disc or know any more about it?

	re .2: Righto. Silver Platters, 14603 NE 20th, Bellevue, Wa. 98007 1-206-643-3472 (that's 643-DISC :-) I don't know if they do mail order or not, but you can always try... -- Benn p.s. If you do call them, make sure you're sitting down when you ask how much it is!

	re:.3 Well, I want it, but I don't think I want it that bad. :-) --- jerry
827.5	cheap at the price?	SMURF::HOFFMAN	anywhere in the universe	`Thu Dec 03 1987 10:10`	4
	Even the record albums for "It's A Beautiful Day" from San Francisco Sound cost at least $15 when I last noticed a couple years ago. Why be shocked at paying 2X or 3X for CD if the sound is as good as you would hope?
827.6		AKOV11::BOYAJIAN	Lyra RA 18h 28m 37s D 31d 49m	`Fri Jan 15 1988 04:24`	12
	Interestingly enough, I found a CD of It's a Beautiful Day's second album, MARRYING MAIDEN, at Rockit Records. It's also from San Francisco Sound and cost (are you ready for this?) $29.95. High, to be sure, but I wasn't sure I'd ever see the thing again, so... They also had a Moby Grape CD, also from SFS. I'm not sure I want Moby that badly, though. The disc sounds amazingly clean. --- jerry
