This is such a poor release to celebrate one of the most important cross-over albums ever released…there is a good CD’s worth of B-Sides, Remixes and unreleased tracks from the era (1997)..so why do we get modern remixes by some less than exciting (imho) artists? Why do we only get 6 tracks? There is a lot more space on CD2 remaining. They could of added One Man Army and The Trick, how about the Firestarter/SMBU hybrid from the Radio 1 maida vale session?
Getting fed up with shoddy reissues…plus when I last looked this was selling for just shy of £13!
I fully agree with your comments and assessment. I too paid for the exclusive membership-bought the deluxe edition of RAM-so I assumed I now had TWO years–well two years of squat! LIVE KISSES, no offense, I tried to listen to the that album and it put me to sleep. LIVE KISSES-more like DEAD KISSES-OK so it is a Halloween reference. Well at least I have a lithograph that also sucks! Bottom line-very dissappointed. I was really looking forward to seeing what would be provided and it appears the answer is NADA. The RAM purchase should have been a canary in the coal mine-I wondered why they gave away what I just paid $40 for and since I was one of 4400 folks who paid, I assumed they would assume I would BUY the premium RAM, just as I did Band on the Run. It sucks to be loyal and expensive!
