- - GATS reissue? (http://www.foreverdelayed.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=63088)

Yeah I’ve got to be in the mood to listen to GATS but I’m really enjoying it again since the re-release. Demos are great.

Hopefully when they can tour again they’ll play a few (rare) songs as a nod to it. Wait all these years for the re-release and fucking COVID happens.

I saw it in a HMV the other day and they were selling it for £64.99!!! It's bigger than I thought, though. Looks really nice, but not worth that much. Will wait until it's about half that before I get it.

James definitely namechecks Norwich mid-song - so I'm assuming it's from the same Norwich UAE gig (21/10/92) as the Slash 'n' Burn on the La Tristesse b-side? And they've put that version on the re-release accidentally, rather than the version recorded in the UK Cambridge on 20/10/92, that was also on the La Tristesse single?

Just realised this myself and came straight here to check if anyone else had noticed (haven't been keeping up here for a while).

I feel like your comment didn't get the attention it deserved - despite being almost identical it's a big deal to me that there's now a second officially released live version of the song! (Maybe there's a whole separate thread on this and I missed it, apologies to everyone in that case!)

Stuff like this frustrates me so much - as with the live version of Yourself - reminding me they have all these great live recordings and aren't sharing.

Playlist I've made, excluding covers and remixes. I did mean to post it in this thread, but you know how things have been.
I love how the album now starts Baggy then gets heavier. Or have I tampered with forces I don't understand?
You at least get an acousticish section with Hibernation and Life Becoming A Landslide.

So I finally got the reissue and it came today, cost me £29. It's very nice indeed! Hopefully someone can answer this; the live b-side What's My Name is different to the one on Lipstick Traces, but I would have thought they'd be the same one? Strange. But again, it's a beautiful quality package! :)

I write in this threat but the question is for every reissue:
is there an audible difference between the original version and the remasters? Of course it is for KYE because it's not just a reissue, but for the others? I hear some differences for THB but I don't know about the other ones...

Definitely. The (re)master is often very different. THB is a good example, the 20th anniversary reissue has significantly more trebles than the original release. GT reissue is similar. EMG too. They are all more compressed (and thus louder) too, because this has been the tendency in the last decades. I haven't heard SATT, that can be a different case. I've never listened to Truth CD1, this would be interesting for a sound freak, because the original release was very very very good sonically.
