Locust Valley not getting promoted to the album while Just a Kid does is some serious BS

It’s a shame David Holmes wasn’t involved in this reclamation. KYE always needed more Holmes, not less

Tom Lord-Alge has done to Found That Soul what he did to the The Holy Bible albeit less pronounced, and that’s not a bad thing

If Miss Europa hasn’t been transformed into the live version, then they have failed

Royal Correspondent and SWSS not remixed by Dave Eringa as part of the revised release (asked him on FB). Therefore they officially join Underdogs and Nobody Loved You as songs banished to Manics purgatory.

In 20 years or so they can release a new playlist called ‘Banished to Purgatory’ - un-remixed, un-remastered, un-reissued… :D

Little Trolls is on the Amazon digital preorder: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B6XNKVF4/

Yeah, just not on the CD which is the annoyance. Unless it's a hidden track for some odd reason.

They better not have left out "Little Trolls" off the CD reissue completely, that'd be an absolute joke given it's never been issued on CD before and I'm sick of all Manics reissues having one flaw that stops them from being the perfect reissue (apart from SATT's, but I guess the flaw there is that it's SATT).

I'm also not entirely keen on the SWSS Avalanches remix taking the place of the original, I know Wire's said in the past he prefers the remix and it is one of their best remixes, but I really don't think it works in context.

Bit late to the party but as soon as I saw and digested the news had to come and have my say.... except this might as well have already been written by me as it covers everything my brain computed 😂

One minor thing, Little Trolls has already been issued on CD before (twice from memory) but I get your point. It needed to be on this too as its first 'mainstream' release.

What if the reissue goes to no.1 with us all buying (at least) 3 copies of the album? Ha!

You can buy the Solidarity T separately (i.e. on its own). Go to Merch on the website & it’s there 😬

minor quibble but if they're including remixes then this isn't really KYE "as intended"?

No Ocean Spray Ellis Island remix aside. Will get this, but prefer not to have preorder money frozen.
It really looks magnificent and tried listening to Rosebud but kept hearing vinyl crackles. So will listen when it's sunnier.
I did read NME saying both Rosebud and Studies In Paralysis have been uploaded onto YouTube? Think only Rosebud's up.

I've kind of stopped buying band t shirts, but got to say the design and colours of these really appeal to me.

Amazon have the 3 CD version for £17.50.

I was buying the £70 bundle from the official store until I discovered they were looking to charge £10.20 for postage.

No mention of an overdub to replace the Brian Warner lyric

Bit ridiculous to overdub
