This is the second time now that 'The Graveyard And The Ballroom' is re-issued. This re-release is much better than first time on Creation/Revola in 1994. The sound quality seems to be better and the sleeve is in true 'early A Certain Ratio style'. Very nice, very nice.
Call me a spoiled kid but... i even expected more from Soul Jazz!
Why add two very obvious bonus tracks? And where are the extensive liner notes?
But thank God: Soul jazz released this record for the first time on vinyl!! True die hards know enough.
