Title: Great album, but why this Fat Possum reissue?
Review: This review is for this 2011 CD reissue on the Fat Possum(?) label. Why on earth was this issued?For about $3 more, you can still buy the Edsel UK import which adds all the non-album singles to the CD (many of which are batter than most of the LP tracks), PLUS you get a whole second CD with alternative versions of most of the songs. With the Edsel you get a total of 43 tracks; with Fat Possum you get 13.The Edsel reissue series of the 1972-on T. Rex catalog was an stellar example of how to do reissues correctly. Put just the original album and any non-album singles on one CD, and then put all the alternates on a second disc. (I'm not a fan of having multiple demos, alternates on the same disc as the album proper.)As long as the Edsel is available, no need for the Fat Possum...
Is the review positive or negative?
