Customer Reviews

No Tears of a Clown!4
I, literally, wore this album out in '81 during my freshman year at art school (records were made out of vinyl then). It was a favorite then and has stood the test of time--toe-tapping from the first track to the last, great lyrics and music. The original is an excellent record--a true classic. So I was very excited to see this reissue (now I could give my second time worn vinyl record a rest).

So why only 4 stars you may be asking yourself. Tears of a Clown, which is one of the the most amazing covers ever recorded, has been omitted from this reissue. SACRILEGE! Those responsible should hang their heads in shame.

More is Better1
In this age of adding value to CD re-issues, WEA has gone the opposite direction. Not only is this latest version missing "Tears Of A Clown" and "Ranking Full Stop", it contains no additional bonus songs. Why no b-sides, demos, live versions, or (at the very least) remixes? I'd rather spend less and get more by buying a used copy of the original CD release.

Shame.

This is why you don't buy it here5
I read all the reviews of this cd with regards to the two singles (Ranking Full Stop, Tears of a Clown) being omitted.
I was thinking to myself, 'Well my cd has both tunes.' This is why you should always purchase a great band's music as soon as you can. Record companies love to decide what is good and what isn't, what should be included, what shouldn't, etc. All to sell the almighty greatest hits collection, which in my opinion greatest hits never have the best songs of a particular group anyway.

This is one reason downloading became so popular in the first place.
