A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Apparently, the Apollo Vol I-IV box was released on iTunes last week. Problem is, no one can access it. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/live-at-the-apollo-vol.-i-iv/id899837131?ign-mpt=uo%3D4

    So, word of warning on the Hard Road Deep Purple MKI box. There's been reports that the last 30 seconds on Hey Joe (stereo version) is missing. It's the segment after the song ends with the footsteps and the door slamming. The mono Hey Joe definitely has the last 30 seconds present.

    This is definitely an error, by the way. I have a needledrop of the original stereo UK vinyl and the last 30-sec. segment with the footsteps and door slamming is definitely there at the end. Considering this is likely the last time the MKI era will get any sort of attention, I suggest people complain HARD about this.

      Whoops, that last sentence sounded too much like fearmongering. 😳 Sorry!

      (Be assured that it's definitely an error, though; that last segment is present on the original CD and the 2003 remaster.)
