Is it out today then?
Went to the JobCentre today, and the Army were there going "Be the Best" ... now T-Mobile just told me I didn't have the qualifications to sell phones, Microsoft said I didn't have the qualifications to answer the phones, and the Army want to let me loose with a machine gun?

I also see that for an extra 2 quid, you can get it early, as sendit.com have released it.

PS-
I thought that "instrumental" looked familiar, and I see that it is on the TMWYL single # HVN64CD.


PPS-
And "I Love How You Love Me' was on the Stolen Car single # HVN89CD as well as the Mojo soundtrack.

The only song on there I don't have is "This I am I Find" which was on the Someone's Daughter single I do not have, though I have the other two single versions of that song.

Is it even possible to 'remaster' an album from 1997?

Remastering albums that pre-date the 90's makes sense, since digital technology was in its infancy and no one really knew how to make CD's sound good, but by 1997 I imagine they sorta, kinda had to know what they were doing, and you really can't improve much (unless we're talking about hi-res formats like SACD, which the labels completely abandoned without ever really giving a fair chance).

I have no idea what they have or haven't done, nor have I compared the sound to the original yet, but it does sound bloody fantastic and incredibly fresh and new!

Maybe they have done the 'hi-res' thing you mention?

A BBC review:

by Chris Jones
06 March 2009

Over ten years after its release, Beth Orton's mixture of folk and digital jiggery pokery sounds remarkably prescient, especially considering how common this now is, both within and outside the community. Trailer Park remains a classic of its type that has dated less than you may assume.

With uncanny timing this 'legacy edition' of Orton's debut arrives barely a month after the passing of one of her biggest influences, John Martyn. For Orton's proto folktronica, was a direct descendant of Martyn's blurring of genre boundaries. Indeed, before this album's release Beth had already recorded a Martyn classic, I Don't Want To Know About Evil, with William Orbit. Trailer Park's amalgamation of beats and acoustic guitars are buoyed up by Ali Friend's double bass and often accompanied by some very pastoral strings. While it adopts dance guises in places - utilising the producer of Primal Scream's Screamadelica, Andrew Weatherall - this is still a very English record.

The songs, in the main co-written with Friend and Ted Barnes (both now active in folk outfit Clayhill) are lyrically vague but musically like the equivalent of a big soft duvet. However the opening high water mark of She Cries Your Name (a version very different from the one she had recorded with co-writer, William Orbit) does tend to make everything that follows seem a tad pale. It's the more electronic tracks that have fared best over the years such as Tangent, Touch me With your Love or the closing ten-minute epic, Galaxy Of Emptiness. On quieter tracks the tentative nature of Orton's voice, while often seeming a little flat, displays a haunting tremulousness that sets her apart. Her reading of the Weill and Mann classic, I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine, shows off her guileless vocals to brilliant effect. Only on the poppier Don't Need A Reason or Someone's Daughter does she go badly wrong.

The bonus disc gives us the b-sides to the album's singles as well as the Best Bit EP. All are fine additions except for a rather ham-fisted duet with Terry Callier on Fred Neil's Dolphins. But the real gem is the version of Paris Sisters' I Love How You Love Me, recorded for the soundtrack to Mojo. It's dark country twang could be from a David Lynch film.

For a generation of clubbers Orton's debut was seen as a pinnacle of trip hop-influenced, late night chilling: it certainly secured her reputation and won two Brit nominations into the bargain. But her writing skills and voice were to both improve immensely over the course of another five albums. But if you're new to her work, Trailer Park is as good a place to start as any.

my ears are shot, couldn't hear a bit of difference, not listened to old and new in different ears at the same time or any other real detailed analysis but on first listen it still sounds as good as ever, but no better, new photos are a nice touch and the booklet covers what it ought to so would have bought it for that if no other reason :P

Why the heck not? That's the obvious first thing everyone would do! :P

Mine's on the way shortly, via a pretty good deal on eBay, so I should know what it sounds like within a week or so.

I'm glad I bought this for the photo on the inside of the album with Beth in the white, fluffy hat alone. And that live version of Galaxy of Emptiness is new to me, I love it! :D

There is just no difference in the original release and the new one. I have a pretty good ear for such things (well, a pair of very expensive headphones, where you could hear a dog fart a mile away from the studio, and I can't hear shit.

Something just occurred to me though: it's gone very quiet on the Phil Spector front.

I'm stickying the topic as well, just in case anyone has been living in a cave.
