Second batch of reissues (25th Sep 2011)

I can see why they did not want to release the VMNP remix EP. PWEIZATION is pretty good but not mindblowing. It has some great parts, open drums ect which are ripe for re-editing with the original mix. 92F is not great, it's just a jumble of samples. That said the joy of these re-issues is hearing unrealeased stuff so I'm really grateful they are on here. the early version of VMNP is interesting. It's is really noisy and has a Prime Mover sample in there. Can anyone here ID the guitar parts samples on the intro? Again some great bits here that could be pilfered. I like the way they couldn't be bothered to get the vocal sample from Preaching in time. It's good to hear how the track started life. I love the early version of Wise Up!. It's quite sparse so this is begging for a remix!

Now I was a bit tired last night but the main Lp sort of sounded like it was running away with itself...ie to fast? I'm sure it's not. It might be the remastering making it sound different to me and throwing me off. I noticed a lot more detail in the OG mix of 92F they synth line sounds clearer and Sylvias vocals sound better and fuller to me.

Really enjoyed Adams sleeve notes and the notes / booklet in general. I a lot of love and graft has obviously gone into them and they are a great read.

Well done to Adam, Ohm and all on this re-issue programme.

PS the interview with Adam in the newsletter is quite revealing and a great read.

Did it sound like it speeded up in parts but then seemed ok in others?

I though it was just me. I need to extract a track and compare it I guess.

Any other readers notice this? I picked up on it during Four Letter Word and Preaching. I got side tracked re-reading the booket so not sure about the rest.

I only really noticed it at the beginning too, so it could well just be the first couple of tracks.

Got mine yesterday too, just before I went out for the Glasgow gig. Only heard it on a crap car stereo at 70mph so can't comment on the sound quality yet. I like print on the CD especially, better than the boring plain RCA ones. Only thing I think is the second CD could have a bit more on it, even if just live recordings. E.g. reading 89 or inject me from the VHS. Still a very nice package though, thanks ohm!

I've contacted Cherry Red, they won't dispatch mine until all 3 are ready. This was at my request, actually. I don't see the point in paying shipping x3 to get to Canada, as such I'll do my best to keep my anxiety ridden curiosity to a minimum.
