Love the instrumental demo from of To Wish Impossible Things - never really one of my faves. Has all these extra guitar parts which they would ultimately replace with vocals and that somewhat cheesy viola

I still think it's a crime that "Doing The Unstuck" wasn't released as a single
Robert is still mad (per the tweetalong the other day) that the record company went for Elise when he wanted Unstuck

Wow didn't even know that! Sucks Robert couldn't put his foot down, when he was making them so much money. "Elise" could've been a great fourth final single, à la "Pictures Of You".

Elise *was* the single

Elise was not the fourth final single

The reissue cemented my back-in-the-day opinion that “Apart” is a beast of a song and it made me happy to read Robert rediscovering it during the remastering process
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Saturday, 3 December 2022 20:05 (one year ago) link
I completely agree. I've been rediscovering it myself these past few days and I like it better than back in the day. Very moving.

Still haven't received the vinyl or the cassette / cd bundle I had to order from two separate vendors. Hope they show up soon.

Wish 3CD set is currently $4 on Amazon at the moment. Mistake?
― Bee OK, Friday, 23 December 2022 05:27 (one year ago) link
Don't see it. Gone?
― Mark G, Friday, 23 December 2022 10:34 (one year ago) link
Yeah, it's gone, now back up to $21. I knew it was a mistake.

Mystified why AMG has never bumped Wish from a 2.5 to something even slightly higher. The next three are all 3s.

Aha, only just now realised they changed it to 4 in November (with new review).

Forgot to bump this thread instead -- following Show last year, Paris is coming back:

(Presumably WMS next up, so the question is whether that or the new album actually comes out first.)
