Today's musical acquisitions

I just pulled yet another bunch of obscure (or not-so-obscure) Kylie songs this arvo, including the original 1987 Duffy production of Locomotion (as opposed to the 1988 PWL remix exported worldwide that's common currency). In vinyl form a copy of this is worth a mint nowadays, apparently: scarcity value is all.

Some people think S.A.W. productions/remixes were heinous crimes against music, but I always really liked the PWL remix more than the older Duffy one. However, I subsequently realized that my issue with the Duffy recording is his mixing and overemphasis on the bass rather than Kylie's (oh soooo sweet) voice. A little tinkering with the equalizer on a good sound editor sorted that out, and my EQ-adjusted version sounds better IMHO. This bunch of tracks is pretty good haul for a couple of hours' work!

"C'mon, c'mon, do the locomotion with me!" :)
