2006 Universal Japan Import
It's not. I just wanted to give the heads-up to anyone considering buying the 2006 Universal Japan version of So What thinking that it was a sonic upgrade from the present US version. In fact, it is identical to my 1993 MCA CD. I read the review of the 2004 Universal Japan mini-LP issue and figured if it was remastered, as the author claimed, the newer replacement for that now discontinued version would be the same master. All I can tell you is that I wasted my money.


walsh says so what
Turn to Stone, a masterpiece. One of if not the best solo by this great. Nothing else needs to be said.


Seeking this CD for years
The remaster sounds awesome after all these years. I've been trying to find this on CD for years just for the studio recording of " Turn To Stone " As good as I remembered. Reminds what a force Joe was in the Rock World in his prime.


The best
This is the best one so far. I have several Joe Walsh CDs. The sound is great and I can hear the words of the songs better on this one and any of the others. .


Joe's Best Album
As good as THE SMOKER YOU DRINK. . is, this is Joe's most mature, consistent album. Every song is a winner, if not attaining rock classic status like "Rocky Mountain Way" and "Meadows" from TSYD. . . (although "Turn To Stone" comes pretty darn close).

The production is excellent, arrangements just perfect for each song.

I first heard this when it came out in the 70s. I was (and still am) a huge Yes fan; but back then I was an even bigger Art-Rock snob (fortunately, I grew out of THAT!). If it wasn't Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull, then it was crap.

My brother brought this home and put it on the stereo. After a couple listens, I found myself putting it on! My bro and I had a garage band, and we played a couple tracks from this (as well as some Marshall Tucker. . . ).

I eventually bought the LP myself. . . .

"Song For Emma" always makes me cry. Thanks for sharing the story about Emma being Joe's daughter - I didn't know that. It'll probably make me cry even more the next time I hear it!

This is a must-have disc. You will not regret it.
