Nothing recorded by either can touch "1963" or "Doubts Even Here", though.

"Bizarre Love Triangle" is one of my fave singles evah.

I'd certainly avoid 90% of the remixes as well (via The Rest of and elsewhere).

'Mesh' on Substance is in fact Cries and Whispers - they mis-titled it.

I love these CDs probably more than any non-person thing.

scott said about 15 months ago:Ceremony (the 7" is much better than the version on Substance) so so true... sorry, so late. just wanted a check in the tally column.

IMHO, the finest thing they ever did. i have a pristine rip if you're interested.

Possibly catalogued as FAC 33T. ** Re-recorded when Gill joined the Band. This is the substance version, I think. Not sure what version is on the box-set. Will check tonight.

Also search the 7" of Shame of the Nation (Shame was better than State, but the shorter version of Shame was, I think, the finest of the NO tracks that hardly anyone's heard.)
― scott, Friday, 7 November 2003 11:47 (twenty years ago) link
I think that's right - also some import versions might have the *wrong* sleeve.
It's definitely the Gill version on Substance, also on the Palatine box - it's bugging me that I can't remember which one is on Retro.

Not really fair, since it was never intended for proper release.
I'm listening right now, and if I let my guard down a little bit, it's actually rather--no! these melodies are awful! Gah!
