Summary:
There are some excellent inclusions here - but in my opinion the omissions outweigh. Definitely an 'only for the hardcore fans' release; casual fans should get 'The Woman's Work' box and the later releases cheaper secondhand.
**
Whilst I love that the original 3 albums have finally been remastered and reissued with Kate's control I'm disappointed with the omissions on "The Other Sides" - 4x 30ish minute CDs (which could easily have been 2x 60-70min CDs) with obviously enough space to include official released remixes from The Red Shoes era and a good selection of the other tracks missing previously included in the This Woman's Work (1990) set. It astonishes me that 1985's "Not This Time" was not included (.. not this time, ahem ...), and 'The Empty Bullring' - such a loss!
The one previously unreleased track - 1975 recording of 'Humming' is stellar and well received.
After years of feedback since the 1990 set, the instrumental versions of 'Running Up That Hill', 'The Dreaming' ('Dreamtime') and 'The Sensual World' are still not included on CD release for their first time - nor 'Moments of Pleasure' instrumental. We are still not offered other tracks missing from the This Woman's Work release (1990's 'The Confrontation', 1987 version of 'Be Kind to My Mistakes').
For my opinion the main album discs have plenty of space to collect the works of that era instead of 'The Other Sides' - to avoid repetition on same disc, include a remix set (including single mixes - where's 'Army Dreamers' single mix or 'Man With the Child' video mix?) - there would be fewer discs and much more cohesive. Replacing / updating 'The Big Sky' was also a mistake - the album mix suited the flow of the album better and the single mix belongs on a long overdue updated Best Of. I notice the play length of for 'Eat the Music' has reduced by 15 seconds.
These omissions will undoubtedly feature in some future release, hopefully we don't have to wait (30+ years?) for Albert to re-release his mother's catalogue posthumously. Some fans (like myself) intend to be around that long, but a good proportion are in her age group (or older) and may never see that release.
Updating Aerial 'A Sky of Honey' to remove Rolf Harris and add Albert McIntosh is not my favourite decision - the work exists, you cannot deny it was what you wanted at the time - but, I understand the reasoning -- however its logic is defeated in that Harris contribution was not removed/revisited out from 'The Dreaming' also.
