Wow, looking at Punk Skins' list reminds me that:
A) I think I forgot to get the Postcards singles
B) I've still never gotten round to listening to the SKON b-sides
C) I'm really not missing much by not owning the Australia and LRS singles, or any of the CD2s before TBTGOG.

My purchase of this box set hangs entirely on the SATT vinyl and LB DVD single b-sides being included. No Vorticists, no money.

I'm just browsing through Jason's Aspire For Life fanzine compilation and there's a Nicky interview from 14 years ago where he says his favourite film is Brassed Off.

These deluxe editions are a nonsense. Unless this is every single, with each and every B-side (7", CD1, CD2, Cassette, Online tag ons, the works" this is a horrific extraction of cash. Can't believe fans would settle for less. Well I can, some people will simply have to own it, but I would hope if it sucks people will save their money. They won't learn if we keep buying the tat!

the inflatable Freddie would make sense only if they had the four of them - that's the "cartoon style" from the A Kind Of Magic album cover, and there were massive inflatables of all four of them at the gig. we didn't have all the fancy effects you take for granted these days back in the 80s. after this we got Bowie's big fuck off glass spider.

as for the shirt, if memory serves it's the one Freddie had on, or it could have been Brian May. the maps is probably a recreation of the guide you got as to how to get to where for the gig.

looks like a fantastic package; the only problem is that the recording of the Wembley show really wasn't that great - got it from the original CD issue. unless they have worked wonders or found a second recording i am not too keen on this.
