The treatment of Brownsville Station has been just waiting for Wounded Bird. Rhino did Jo Jo Gunne, which was OK but initially way overpriced. When it passed into the stores, it became economy priced, which was what it always should have been.
Rhino Handmade also produced an extravagent Fanny set. And almost no one has seen it. Fanny would have been served better through Wounded Bird's implimentation (incidentally, which also has something to do with Rhino, anyway.)
Anyway, Wounded Bird kills Rhino Handmade on every level.
And BGO and Repetoire also kill Rhino Handmade for years. Cactus was available in very adequate form through them for years before Rhino came to the picture. And, it would seem, Akarma also rates a mention.

so is rhino handmade basically defunct now? and hip-o select seems to have reduced their release schedule to a few high-profile series (bo diddley, chuck berry, motown, james brown).

OK, I guess I should have just read my own post on your Howard Tate. thread.

Rhino Handmade stuff I own: all three Cactus sets (the second volume of liveage was kinda disappointing), Eddie Hazel's Game, Dames & Guitar Thangs, the Dio-era Sabbath Live at Hammersmith from '80, and the Stooges box (downloaded, did not buy). I've never made it all the way through the Stooges box, but I have made significant headway - I was surprised to find a) just how much difference there was between takes, and b) by just how wide a margin the album versions were the killers.

I've got the first two Guadalcanal Diary expanded reissues from RHM - brilliant 80s jangle-pop.

You all know my story re the Stooges box, right?
― Mark G, Friday, 18 September 2009 06:53 (fifteen years ago) link
do tell.
― amateurist, Friday, 18 September 2009 22:18 (fifteen years ago) link
is it too much to hope that the out of print stuff will be reissued someday?
― sleeve, Friday, 18 September 2009 22:48 (fifteen years ago) link
i dunno. with some of the old stuff, they actually reissued them proper after the limited editions sold well. or the rights went to another label who then released them (e.g., the judee sill stuff on water). but given the state of the record industry, the answer's probably no. in general.

RE. STOOGES BOX SET STORY
Oh sorry!
Well, what happened was that I ordered the first handmade, the Wild Man Fischer set, but CD2 did not play so I sent it back.
A few months later, they sent the Stooges box set. Presumably as a replacement. Which was nice. Although my wife wondered why I'd spent $*** (or however much it was) on it. Convinced her I hadn't..
Anyway, six months later they sent me another one. Didn't have to convince anyone I hadn't bought two of the same expensive boxset.
The spare ended up on e-bay a few years later after it had gone out of print, and got a nice sum for it. (as did the other one, eventually)
That's it.

"the Dio-era Sabbath Live at Hammersmith from '80"
This thing is fucking awesome. The version of "The Mob Rules" on here is one of the best things Sabbath of any era has done, up there with "Supernaut"
― Bill Magill, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 13:10 (fourteen years ago) link
I have three: Stalk-Forrest, the first Cactus live edition, and the Fanny box.
The Fanny box is the one I enjoy the most. It gets the most play, looks the best, has the most in it etc. If I were them, though, I'd be a bit pissed at this point that no one has seen fit to reissue their albums in original formats as single CDs. The legacy would be better served. Wounded Bird, for example, has even reissued the two Mott record mades after Ian Hunter left the group.

This re-release is not individually numbered in order to preserve the collectability of the original release.
damned capitalists

Real Gone Music (the American one) is doing just that. So far they've done the first three (scroll down here)
On a semi-related note, Wounded Bird has done a few bare-bones (in packaging, not audio content) reissues of OOP Handmade titles, including the Linda Thompson album and The Crazy Horse on Reprise collection, at bargain basement prices ($10-13 each). They also gave the same treatment to the Doug Sahm on Atlantic set, but it's OOP and expensive again.
