Hmm. On the one hand, I like all the new art I've seen coming out in the
last year. On the other, I'm a bit annoyed by the cheezy transfer of the
original artwork on the older CDs and am hoping it's done better.... So the
questions:
Are the new covers actually sharper and with a better transfer of the
originals than were the original CDs?
Is the original inner or rear sleeve material (the "7 Puzzle", the history
of the lineup from _Absolutely_, the quiz from _Keep Moving_, the photos
from _One Step Beyond_) included or omitted?
What appears behind the disc through the clear tray?
Does the track listing for _One Step Beyond..._ include "Madness" or not?
Having originally had the US (Sire) LP--which did not have the
omission--I'd just as soon that they rid themselves of the notion that the
error must be passed on through all future generations of the album.
I assume that _Keep Moving_ is the standard UK track listing rather than
the edition with "Wings of a Dove" and "Sun and the Rain" on it? (On the
one hand, I'd love to have an edition of _Keep Moving_ with lyrics. On the
other, I'd probably never put it in my player as long as I had the US
version available.
