...Still Crazy was certified Gold in the US sold more than half-million copies at the time of its release, produced a No. 1 hit record. Prolly every damned one of us already had a copy, I've even got a copy and I don't even like the record (I paid five bucks for it. Even played it once).
You ask me the question isn't analog or digital; it's why is this being reissued again and why would anybody spend $125 for it? How much "better" can it sound than a run of the mill $5 used copy, all analog, made when the tapes were brandy-new?
The con game isn't digital when the assumption is it's analog (an assumption I would never have made, BTW); the bamboozle is getting people to spend ridiculous amounts of money buying their record collections over and over again.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
