Customer Reviews
Only good for the half-decent artwork.
This CD is only good for the half-decent artwork...if you're one for different CD covers or pictures inside the booklet (which there are none). Buyers beware, for this 2006 re-release is a real doozy! Don't let the pretty, sparkly cover fool you. What you get is a re-released version of the original European 1995 release of Fly, with a couple of songs from the "La Luna Tour Edition" of Fly. Then, there's a terribly botched "Radio Edit" of the "Radio Version" of "AQOH". I was horrified when I played the CD and discovered this messed up botched editing job.
Both the beginning and the end of track 14 is edited, making it a seemingly shorter version of the "Radio Version". The real "Radio Version" can be found on both the red and green "AQOH" CD singles. I really don't understand why this track was over-edited and totally messed up. As if that's not bad enough, there's another error, which read about, prior to purchasing this item. But, I thought perhaps, they had corrected it in time. What I'm talking about is this;
Track #13 (How Can Heaven Love Me - Video Version) is identical to track #4 on this item. They DIDN'T include the proper track, therefore, all the CDs I presume, are like this (with 2 identical songs instead of the slightly heavier "Rock" version of "HCHLM"). That is not only an inconvenience for the customer, but a real bonehead move on the producer's part (I'm referring to them at Toshiba-EMI). Anyone whom didn't get their hands on a "Fly - La Luna Tour Edition" double set at the La Luna concerts, will be unhappy when they discover this. That's why it's important to read reviews prior to purchasing an item.
I feel jipped and don't recommend the album to anyone, period.
Here are the obvious & more importantly negative aspects, pointed out for you:
- Paper quality is mediocre. Text/Credits are visible through the front and back cover artwork.
- Track Editing is cheap and songs are NOT remastered.
- Entire album sounds exactly like original, including bonus tracks.
- Suggested Retail price is too high for such a cheap item.
- Entire package should have been in a digipack or mini-lp, recommended for the hardcore, must-have collector ONLY!
- Booklet does NOT have photos of Sarah inside.
- Both the playing & non-playing sides of disc scratch easily
- Very limited availability of this item is a big inconvenience

I highly suggest you don't buy it, unless you really want to have it for the sake of a different cover (for the picture freaks), and if you don't already own the La Luna Tour Edition of Fly. I suggest you buy something else instead, and save your money rather than giving into the temptation of spending it on something you already own (Like me).
Alrighty
If you do not have the original black cover release of "Fly" or "Fly II" then go for it. It has some rare tracks apparently that were not released until the concert edition nicknamed "Fly II" and features a pretty rad cover. If you have the orginal black cover release then it's nothing other then a collector's item for ya. Great album though.
