What great memories I have from around the time this was released. I was in high school... I don’t know how the CD has not melted from all the times I listened to it. I also love the majority of the bsides as well.

Where do I start? I love the cover art and the booklet.
I love that they continuing housing the CDs in those slip cases.
I remember I got them from the dying days of HMV and Virgin here in the states.
Releasing a double single was also awesome. I loved so why so sad when it came out (cam barely listen to it now) and the avalanches remix is pure joy. I loved that video as well. I didn’t like found that soul too much but now I much prefer it to SWSS. Loved the bsides on both. Put along the Cuba gig and DVD, I was just buzzing.

Although not their best album, it is definitely my favorite. It paved the way for the Manics to become my favorite band, along with oasis, my soundtrack to my late teens and early twenties. And they both remain there all these years later.

So thanks, know your enemy.

Ps - anyone has any high quality images of the artwork (not the cover) from around this time?
