My brother turned me onto Rhythmeen. (I think his copy was 2nd gen from a cdr Billy Gibbons made for a mutual friend). I thought they were still stuck in synth land but they trashed the drum machine years ago and got into real playing again. Those three discs you mentioned plus Dequello are supposedly the only ones without screwed up sound. Chrome, Smoke & BBQ will probably result in all new discs from the pre-RCA years. I hope it sounds good because I think that's the latest mastering job.
