iam8bit (2022, Reissue)
About ten years ago I picked up a copy of this record as part of a trade that didn't quite pan out and wrote about it here. As I mentioned, the condition of the record wasn't so hot and I had hoped to get a better conditioned copy at some point. Well, that point is now as iam8bit has reissued the album with new, fancy artwork. I will admit, the art is a big draw for me on this one. I think it looks incredible and is exactly to sort of thing that I want to have hanging out on the record shelves.
As nice as the art is, it's the music that has always been the main draw for me. I have always loved the songs on this album and "Can You Picture That," "Rainbow Connection" and "Movin' Right Along" are just classic, classic songs. Sure, I could do without "Never Before, Never Again," but it's in the movie and I get it's inclusion, but I will never understand why they also put an instrumental version of the song on again right after the vocal version. Odd choice and was always something I skipped as a kid.
But this sounds great, it looks great and is one of those cornerstone albums for me from when I was a young kid. Really, my only complaint is that the record labels aren't the old school red and green Atlantic labels. The new ones look great, but watching the red and green label spin is one of those endearing memories from when I was a younger fellow.
