Customer Reviews

Direct and to the Point
Ultimately this is a response to ChrisWN of santa cruz, siting this reissue as faulty, a waste of time because of a lack of bonus material. I would contest this for a number of reasons. True, this CD is missing the track "Perfect" which ended the 1990 CD version, but it was not originally intended to be on the record anyway. If you take a look at the original vinyl release you will notice this. Beyond that minor difference, I am excited to have a reissue that doesn't simply stack on bonus cuts for the sake of filling the disc. It is a rarity to have actual worthwhile material at the end of these remasters that have been ever so popular the last 10 years at least. Granted, it can be a treat to hear a gem of a live recording, or a studio demo significantly different from the final take (like The Glove bonus disc or The Byrds' "Sweetheart of the Rodeo"), but generally there is a very good reason that stuff was "never before released until now!". The sound quality stinks, the playing is off, etc. So let's put it this way; if you have the original vinyl or CD release of this album, it's probably not worth buying this just for the cleaned up sound quality. If you haven't got a copy, go for this! Clean sound, no wasted space. Just the album as it was intended for a proper price. There ya go!

Still Great even if it is all commercial with little effort
It's a shame that they didn't include both versions of "Perfect" with this "re-mastered" and they didn't include Matt Johnson's brother Andrew's original artwork. This is all classic stuff that helped everyone break the envelope.
Wouldn't a final CD version containing all the artwork and all the songs be even greater than just the songs? Maybe a boxed ste with DVDs.
Anyway, if you're at all interested in the The, this is the best.
That mind-blowing piano solo in "Uncertain Smile" always gets peoples attention at a party, and it just doesn't get much better than "This Is The Day".

The The - The Best Band Ever
One of their best CD's. I like the way that they put their music together on a CD. It makes it fun to listen to all the way through.
