An Elektra Boxset would be great, His last great recordings I think. And it would be a start.
After Eelektra I can just "live" with individual songs and not with whole albums. The MCA LPs are just soso & Rocket & Hank Cochran are the worst things he´s ever done. (Cochrans with those cruel Casio Overdubbs)
The best record songwise after Elektra in my opinion is Youngblood. Soundwise & musically it´s LMS, but maybe the next one will have great songs AND sound, although the Killers voice now is really thin (though it´s better on Mean old man that on most LMS tracks).
I´m always happy about new recordings from the Killer & he should go on recording but maybe Jimmy Bowen ruined the Killers Career. At least he did the first big step (not counting Jerry himself) & the next big one was the Movie, I think. And Jerry´s lost maybe ten years then Mid 90ies to Mid 00. Though the first time of LMS i read in FBM in 2001 or 2002.
