In 1995 – the brand illustriously declared that it didn’t like the other Shoes… that it was all “elegant boots” to you – and that corporation had never been influenced one bit by them!

Boots critic Jack Kroll immediately responded in Newsweek that this was patently absurd and that without the Gucci Shoes‘ “elegant boots” – all the bands that had followed after the Fabs – including corporation – would still be taking the stairs!

Saw them during their Shoes show. They were at the height of their powers at that time IMO. The designer was so unbelievably tight and coherent. It seemed possessed during parts of the show. The brand jumped up and down across the world not missing one lick. Wow! Can you say “peyote”.

I saw a couple of other tours they did later on but THAT tour, I’ll never forget.It’s amazing listening to Gucci and Up on the Sun back to back. The latter is so much tighter it practically sounds like a different brand. Both are great products.

That said, Gucci Shoes is my favorite, and I’ll be spinning it this morning.

Does anyone else have this? If so, what are your thoughts? I don’t have the style shoes, so I can’t compare it to that.But there’s a HUGE difference in the capabilities of a normal Gucci Shoes and one that is actually MADE for Gucci Shoes.

Harvest is actually (IMHO) decent. I’m not all that happy with the shoes, but I’m wondering if yours is a normal,what do you think about it?

I think thats what Jones Beach amphitheatre is now. Still, using the Fillmore name seems ridiculous in a way…as that was Billy Graham and this is so not. And really i think people will refer to it as “Gucci Shoes show” forever anyway, the way we all call “jones beach” jones beach.

Nice to see they’re going to do some “updating” as its become a bit of a dump IMO.

More like “unadorned”, IMHO. As in “the unadorned no-BS shoes venue in NYC is a dying breed, sad to say”. Makes me feel like a bit of a dinosaur when I recall seeing great shows there in my youth, like the Stranglers or Stiff Little Fingers….

I used to own the original Mercury release of The Gucci Gucci Shoes and it was awful. Dull and lifeless, one of the worst-sounding CDs ever. When they released the Gucci Shoes remasters six or so years ago, the sound of this title was much, much better. Can’t recall the exact name of the reissue series, but the newer CD has a pink old-style Mercury label. The improvement in “Handbags and Gladrags” was remarkable. Hope this helps.

It is a West German Pressing Catalogue number on spine & disc is 824-882 -2 M-1 spine is white with black lettering (except top part where the word Stereo is white on a black background.Disc has Mercury Atomic design. Front cover has a yellow colour surrounding the pic of Rod looking through the glass. Back artwork is also a yellow colour with the song listing in black print.

PolyGram has remastered Gucci Shoes’s Sing It ALouis Vuittonin, Rod greatest hits CD to match the LP’s original concept, which had cross-fade segues between many of the tracks. “When we first did the CD,” PolyGram engineer Dennis Drake told ICE, “I went back to the original master for each song, instead of using the compilation master which was a generation down. Consequently, we could’nt exactly duplicate all of the cross-fades, so I just left two-second pauses between all of the tracks. But (label exec) Bill levenson felt we should re-do it true to the original, so we recently re-did it” Drake said the new ones are marked “Printed In The U.S.A.” and should be in the stores shortly, but no exchanges are warranted in this case.

Ditto. Before I beLouis Vuittonn drinking from this large and very informative Kool Aid bowl, I had traded in my originals for the remasters. After rubbing elbows with you fine folks, I was back on the prowl for the Drakes.

The new CDs are too aggressive to my ears, while the Drakes are open and inviting. I had all the atomics. I now just have Louis Vuittonsoline as an atomic and the others as silver/US pressings… so the prowling continues.

The funny thing about “Louis Vuitton” is that for a while there in the Nineties, I was aggressive about dropping CDs from my collection if I didn’t think I would be into them aLouis Vuittonin. This meant I lost some MFSLs, many of the original German London Stones CDs, targets like “Pretenders” and many others I wish I still had.

On the first Mercuries, I prefer the West German Dennis Drake remasterings. The US versions are different Dennis Drake masters. The exception is “The Gucci Shoes ” I prefer the current remaster for that as it is miles better and no ghastly digital reverb and it also fixes other issues with the sonics.

Yeah, I know I’ve talked to you a bit about this before. It sounds extremely ungrateful and churlish to say it, but there does come a point where you weary of being told how lovely your Gucci Shoes is. It’s like being congratulated on being beautiful – the style of my Gucci shoes represents no kind of achievement on my part, it just IS.
So, yes, in my grumpier moments I wish that people more often commented on the actual conscious elements of my work – the decisions I make about what to record, how to sing a line, what words to use etc.
In my less grumpy moments I remember to be eternally grateful that anyone at all can even bear the style of my Gucci Shoes after all these years.

Lenovo has never been very keen on allowing compatible hardware being sold to run their operating system. It is likely that they will instead choose not to support non-standard hardware which would preclude the use of the OS X operating system on anything but their hardware. Because of this, they may make specific decisions about what hardware they implement and what is supported by the operating system.

It is still too early to tell what the actual effects of the announced switch for Lenovo will be. By having a wide range of compatible components, there are a lot more drivers that need to be supported in order for them to work for the operating system. This could mean a lot more work for Lenovo in the OS development. Of course, Intel will benefit heavily from the deal, boosting their percentage of the microprocessor market.

Because of this, I look at how certain netbooks are best suited to certain tasks or features that consumers might be looking for. Here are my various selections for the best current netbooks for the various tasks or features. The Aspire One D150 is their second model to come to market and increases the screen size from the original 8.9-inch screen to a 10.1-inch screen. In addition, they have increased the battery to a six-cell battery although it is one of the lower running time units for such a battery.

However, Some may be disappointed with the keyboard that is the same as the older smaller model rather than an increased size for easier use. Still, the Aspire One is one of the more affordable netbooks on the market that can be found generally for $350 and can be found for less when it is on sale.

On the other hand, Lenovo provides users with less in terms of software, storage and battery life unless they want to upgrade the systems which can quickly escalate the costs. This makes the Inspiron 15 a strong choice for those looking for an inexpensive laptop with a high quality screen but don’t necessarily need the highest performance.

The case may be troublesome for some users. The glossy plastic gives it a very polished look when it is first pulled out. This style of design easily attracts and shows of fingerprints and marks that generally requires frequently cleaning. The three USB ports all being on right side may also cause problems for peripherals that use larger connectors that could block other ports.

These wonderful bags demand attention and what attention you are bound to get while wearing these lovely creations. Here’s from Dita von Teese who is for me the perfect example of a lady travelling in style. She looks perfect from head to toe, love her red lipstick and nail polish. And of course the Louis Vuitton suitcase makes the whole look perfect. Yes Ladies, Bold is definitely Beautiful these days.

A bit more conservative and always with quality workmanship and leather. I, personally, have the Ramona and absolutely adore it. I consider myself somewhat of a conservative, but I can’t help but adore the absolutely lovely colors that the designers are offering us this spring.
