I think I'm up to 10 copies purchased now (mainly thanks to super duper mega bundle). Even got the wife to buy a copy of the Piano Versions download instead of sending her the tracks after I deliberately played the piano version of Hidden In Plain Sight to which her immediate response was "Is that on the album?" and mine was "No, but you need to buy it instead". Nice being married to a Manics fan haha (although she isn't as hardcore as me).

Anyway, I really like the piano versions, particularly James' take on the Nicky songs, especially CT which is really dark and moody in places. Only thing I don't really like is how Late Day Peaks now sounds like something you might find on a bank advert. But I do absolutely love Being Baptised on piano, that old piano really gives it a unique charm (and I've grown to love that song over the last few days as well).
