fair enough Bathtub, i understand that many here wish to have everything - a shame the band and label don't appear to hold too much respect for fans like that.

actually, i think this "deluxe" (if you can call it that) version of National Treasures exists purely to make the PFAYM box set the most excellent thing ever in comparison. except musically.

I know you're a Wildhearts fan. Try this http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/gingerwildheart as its much better value for money. Shows what artists not tied to a label can offer their fans.

i have never heard of Ginger Wildheart in my life. sorry, not sure who you have me confused with. meanwhile, what he's doing there is an absolutely excellent idea, good luck.

Mostly, eh? You're getting there! A few more years of listening and you'll realise how fab it is!

Got an email from Townsend about the version with the poster. Should have checked my inbox first! Will see what price they are asking!

oh fudge, here we go again....

it should have been cut down to a 10 track album, SKON was OK but should never have been a single, that one Nicky sang was certainly one that should have been cut.......

Right, ordered that deluxe version as well. That's it for me. Looked at the Postcards memento's box there but decided I'd best not!

He! He! I do listen to Future with a 'Is it finished yet?' thought going through my head in anticipation of Don't Be Evil!

Future is one of the best songs on the album.

Just in case you really, really desired to hear my particular opinion expressed randomly in a thread about something completely different.

as certain people on here (heya Gutless Wonder) would argue that every song on PFAYM should have been released as a single, in some cases (SKON) twice, and thus they should all feature on National Treasures, i would suggest that your comment is entirely on topic.
