  • Another book that look's like it's been photocopied on a black and white printer?
  • Is that... it?
yes, that's pretty much it. except the black and white booklet features loads of liner notes in Japanese (for those of us who can read Japanese). and i for one, would much rather have an actual CD of b-sides instead of compressed mp3s that can get erased at any time if my hard drive crashed.

but it sounds like you've already got most of what's being offered. so there's probably no need for you to own these.

I've had a look and can't find them either, I imagine they'll surface over the next few days though, i'll wait until I get a few quid together at the end of next month before I'll be able to buy the discs. Until then I'll be downloading the leaks.

that would the production itself. it's a very 80s sounding production because Steve Brown is an 80s producer. if the CD was to be remastered, it's not going to improve on the production. there's a difference between remastering and remixing

Yet to receive mine from HMV.jp. They are stuck 'awaiting customs charges'. Did anyone else have to pay customs/duty? HMV use the carrier EMS, but have never had a problem before.

OK, I've heard the leaks now.

Still maintain they're nothing amazing but will be nice to have digital versions of certain songs like Fearless Punk Ballad

Am I the only one who thinks the obi-strip with 4-Real at the top is a bit dodgy. Makes them look like bootlegs.

the obi's are kind of cheesy but i'm glad that they're uniformed. and they're way better looking than the "Nice Price" ones when they reissue GT, GATS, and THB a few years back.

Are you in the UK? If so then orders over £18 from outside the EU will often get hit by customs, especially using premium shipping like EMS.
