Thread Name: Topic Records: Vision & Revision
Subject: RE: Topic Records: Vision & Revision
Topic's reissue policy seems to be a bit random. I have a 2 CD set entitled Vigilante Man, which has 20 tracks of fairly good original stuff. I also have a 7CD set, in a book format, with the CD's set into the inside of the front and back covers. The CD's are themed, England/Scotland/Ireland etc, but nowhere in the book is there a full track list. It is beautifully presented, with some interesting articles inside, and the whole package is titled Three Score and Ten, 70 years of Topic. Looking at the track list for this latest reissue, I am underwhelmed by their choice, and the content.
I wish Topic would start at their beginning, and issue stuff in chronological order, with full background, instead of this lucky dip approach that seems to be going on.
