Album overview from Steve Froy
It was only last year that EMI released The Virgin & Liberty Years compilation and I made the comment then:-
Come on, EMI, wouldn’t your time be better spent releasing some decent remastered and repackaged CD versions of the original albums!
Well, surprise, surprise, they didn’t listen! Instead they’ve gone ahead and ‘repackaged’ that pointless compilation …. why???!!!
There are eight tracks common to both; this one has 17 tracks instead of 16. Whereas the first compilation was arranged chronologically this has been ‘programmed’ with no apparent regard for any musical flow … what is the point?
There is a four page history written by , the compiler of the CD, who manages to get most of the facts correct.
