I won't be flogging out for the bells and whistles version, but some remastered CDs would do very nicely thank you very much.

..vulgar picture. Anyone got a link?

.. with my original Rough Trade vinyl.

but I only own one box set (The Jam) and I waited until it was a reasonable price. I'm not tight but I'm not paying that for stuff I've already got or can pick up in the 2 for £10 rack at HMV. Remastered? Does it really make that much difference?

..but I'll be stroking my chin and pretending that to my finely tuned, sensitive ear it does. Just like I did in 1984 when I pretended to be hearing all sorts of nuances in the music and the lyrics that were beyond lesser mortals.

the dvd content ..completed the peel sessions (so the peel session version of "london" remains in limbo) and done 12" singles (plus hand in glove 7"), not 7"s...oh..and got me to do the cover...
i fear i will buy

...the "just the cd's" box for £35 is a bit of a steal-all 8 albums including Rank and the 3 compilations. And a few 12" only bsides (Wonderful Woman?) are missing from them all, even the £250 one.

If they still had a sense of humour they'd have called it "Re-issue, Re-package, Re-evaluate the songs" and included an Extra track and a tacky badge.

then I would buy it.

Of what it's going to sound like from that Sound of the Smiths Double! Same remastering work!
