Whenever people talk about Don and I recording again, which almost everybody usually mentions, I always say 'Well, there's plenty of things that you haven't heard! Plenty of things out there to discover!'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For a long time, I thought when you do a box set, you're giving up; you're saying, 'OK, I don't have anything left.' But now I've listened to some of the old stuff I haven't heard in 20 to 40 years with fresh ears. It's like, 'Oh yeah, I can see where people might want to to hear some of this stuff that didn't make it onto the records.'
So often people say something and you realise you haven't really heard it.
Its very sort of spontaneous and organic, not a preconceived sort of jamming. Now we record everything, cause sometimes you'll forget, you know, 'what was that thing again?' So we record everything.
It's almost like, it's often the bad recording quality of things which makes them interesting.
I don't listen to recordings of my songs. I don't avoid it, I just don't go out of my way to do it.
What again I tell my people is that no matter how much you know, it's never enough. You will always discover, after the fact, that you've missed something.
We don't really talk about music that much, to be honest with you. It's not some I usually - I can't really talk about other people's tracks never mind my own.
I don't necessarily want to know what people are saying when I'm not around, especially if it's about me. I just don't need to hear extra garbage.
When I make records, I never listen to stuff after it's done. Ever.
When you make a record, you listen to it literally hundreds of times. When it's done and you can't do anything else, I never listen to my records.
