I'm looking forward to Martin's effort and will listen to it when it is released. If it turns out to be a bummer then I'll say so.

Agreed. And I'll take it at face value about not being a slight. But the examples above are remakes by other artists, not remakes by the same person of a whole record. That's what I'm getting at. I'm sure there's examples of remaking whole records - it'd be naive to think otherwise. But remakes by one member only of a whole record I'm not fond of.

I'm betting it wouldn't be a bummer Keithie, though...how could it be?
