Negative Positive
Title: Original or fake?
Review: A previous reviewer has described this as "quite simly the greatest concept album of all time"...and I agree. Unfortunately this is not that album it is simply a compilation of some of the tracks off the original album. Imagine my disappointment to discover Stanley Unwin's opening lines "Are you all sitting comftebole two square on your botties?" wiped from the album's opening ....given that this was a concept album this seems to me to be the ultimate in arrogance...as is placing an extra track (which is extremely mediocre) in the middle of the album. The original narrative weaves the songs together to provide a complete work of art so I don't think this album should be sold under the title of the original. This kind of artistic vandalism is akin to overpainting the Monalisa's smile!
