The hole punches and odd shaped sleeve - it was designed to fit in a Filofax, ask your grandparents what that was.referencing Silk Skin Paws (CD, Mini, Single) CD MUTE 84
Absolutely brilliant reimaginings of four great Wire tracks. I really wish I had discovered this back in the day, but it's also nice to have some new Wire (circa 88) to listen too! HIGHLY recommended for all Wire fans!referencing Silk Skin Paws (CD, Single, Mini) 7 72299-3
I was fairly surprised with this release. First of all, the Silk Skin Paws 'full length version' is really just a remix with some additional instrumentation, no longer than the album version; with that said, I actually enjoy the fuller electronic sound of the remix over the original. The second track, German Shepherds (studio version), is perhaps not as strong as the IBTABA version but still a solid effort, more along the lines of the sound Wire accomplished with Ideal Copy. The Ambitious remix is kind of a cheesy dancier piece with some really lame percussion thrown in; still it's decent for a few listens I think (it's more a remix of the alternate version as it contains Colin on vocals). Come Back In Two Halves (Re-recorded) is simply an awesome track, totally ahead of the album version, though I do like both pretty well; it has a more matured attitude, sort of how IBTABA was meant to make correction to A Bell Is A Cup, this piece is relatively in the same mindset.
Overall, this CD is full of stuff that--I'm pretty positive--hasn't been made available elsewhere and totally worth it for fans of Wire's Mute period (and especially for fans who can't really get into A Bell Is A Cup, myself included).
