Steve Winwood / Arc Of A Diver replacement booklet

Steve Winwood / Arc Of A Diver reissue booklet problem
Original booklets (right) had a printing error

Anyone who purchased Steve Winwood‘s Arc Of A Diver two-CD reissue back in October, may have noticed an error in the accompanying 12-page booklet.

Page seven was repeated on page nine, meaning that the lyrics to the end of Arc Of A Diver, all of Second Hand Woman and most of Slowdown Sundown are missing.

A sloppy error that should never have happened. Thankfully, it seems that Universal have re-printed these, and anyone looking for a replacement should email customer services at the following address [email protected], being sure to give them a mailing address for your replacement booklet.

We did this on Monday, and our new booklet arrived this morning. Thanks to SuperDeluxeEdition reader Julian Crook for giving us this information.

RAM and Smile Sessions compete for Best Historical Album Grammy

Paul McCartney / RAM Deluxe Edition
Paul and Linda McCartney’s RAM deluxe box set

The friendly rivalry between Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson continues, 45 years on from Pet Sounds and Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, with the news that Paul and Linda’s 1971 album RAM, and The Beach Boys’ The Smile Sessions are amongst the nominations for ‘Best Historical Album’ in the 55th Annual Grammy Awards.

Both albums are nominated for their deluxe box editions – RAM from May 2012 and The Smile Sessions from October 2011.

Our money would be on McCartney to win this. Not only is RAM a sublime set, it could be the third year in a row for him, with his 1973 Band On The Run deluxe reissue winning this category last year, and The Beatles remastered CDs winning in 2010.

Our review of the RAM deluxe set can be found here.
