Reviews
A beautiful reissue but these tracks did not need to be remastered, they sound so different. And I miss Your Sweet 666, I'm not sure why that's not on this reissue. Gorgeous and I still love it, but it feels like a completely different listening experience.
Don't get me wrong this is a nice press but they didn't need remastering, i have the And Love Said No Box Set too and they sound far better so i don't know why they wanted to do it, i do like the fact that they put the bonus tracks on that was a nice touch. But the vinyl themselves look gorgeous!- I just bought this today and it had no download code, anyone else not have a code?
- I'm not normally one for bonus tracks (demos, remixes, etc.). I almost always ignore deluxe editions and go for the album as the artist intended. But, in this case the bonus tracks are a nice addition. The sound is very good quality. The live versions are nice and clear with plenty energy and the crowd noise is well balanced. The different mixes are very close to the original versions with maybe just slightly different string arrangements or extended sections (no ill-advised dance versions or such like). If you're trying to decide between the single LP and this version, go for the 2LP deluxe edition.
