Apologies Maverick. Did not mean to cause offence.
At least we agree that it is a great album, but I just struggle when I have to buy it twice, especially, when I bought all the singles from Expecting and Last Chance Saloon and still bought Singles 2CD and Rough Outline 3CD version.
Believe me, I am not killing music.
Anyway, just asking, but sorry again. Cheers
Fair enough - sorry, but down/up loading is just a real hatered of mine - i think it's killed the singles charts (along with Radio 1 deciding what is & isn't cool, and the sad f***ers who buy into it).
Trust me though, it's worth the £10.99 (well, thats what i paid) for the second disc. If you've already got the BBC radio sessions CD from a couple of years ago (and if you haven't, i recommend it), the second Disc of ETF sits beautifully alongside it.
I'm listening to it right now - it's superb. I never want to leave 1996 in my head.
I'd also recommend the Early Garage Years Compilation. Some people say it's the Bluetones scraping the barrell; i say those people should f*** OFF.
They also did an internet only EP, called "Serenity Now" a few years ago - that's well worth tracking down, as is the Live album "Once Upon A Time In West Twelve" - a dream 'Tones set-list, that one.
I'd have liked to have seen a 3rd disc with the current re-issue "releated works '95-'96" containing all the B-Sides & single-only releases as well.
All in all, the Tones have a rich & rewarding back catalogue that deserves constant re-appraisal. I'd like to see further re-issues, running alongside some new material, hopefully.
