Superb work, and thanks to all involved.
I tried collecting all the Poppies stuff a while back, then fucked it all up. Got bogged down with duplicate recordings in variable qualities, mis-labelled tracks, incorrect details on releases, yada yada yada. Then the database of tracks disappeared. So, I know what a ballache it is.
WRT the Wise Up! radio edit, I seem to recall entering into discussion about this a while back. I think the conclusion was that the vinyl was some terribly hacked cut, with the beginning missing. The video sourced track however is the censored edit, which is what I was after.
If that's not the case, then there are different pressings of the radio edit out there. The censored, and the hacked.
Other similar projects to fall by the wayside are complete studio recordings of The Smiths, The Pistols, The Weather Prophets and The Family Cat.
Thank heavens for legacy reccd labels.
