Manic Street Preachers ‎– This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours

I don't usually like it when reviews on here get hopelessly carried away moaning about one specific, trivial observation as though it were the most significant thing that had ever happened in the history of recorded music. But hear me out. I'm a bit bemused that, just like Send Away the Tigers and those peculiar Morrissey reissues, this isn't actually a remaster of the original album but a revisionist new version with an altered tracklisting and zero acknowledgement of the fact. Whatever you think of Prologue to History (personally I can take or leave it), it's *not on* This Is My Truth any more than it's on The Holy Bible. And Nobody Loved You fits perfectly in its original place. Of course it's the Manics' work to do with as they please, but it's misleading to suggest this version (as they do in the promo materials on the website, on the sticker etc) is the original album 'cause it's just not!

I have this weird version - (maybe a pressing error?) of apparently the Virgin US CD release except the first track is "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next" and "The Everlasting" is actually tacked on to the end. Aside from that the usual tracklist is the same. Does anyone else have the same version? It is most likely an error because the actual tracklist is printed on the back and it shows the regular order.

A superb pressing, from every aspect! Such a beauty, indeed!

A great pressing of what (I think is) the best Manics album and the one I played the most back in the day.
