Tee hee, tee hee.

It's finally here.

a) Whoever it was that said that "Un Baiser D'Enfant" is better than the
original, you're right (I think someone said that; I know someone commented
on it...)

b) I remember a lot of complaining a while back because people's sets
contained the mid-line "Fame" pressings of some of the early albums.  My
set contains none of the mid-lines (phew!).  Has EMI listened to the
bitching and started giving only the regular stuff?

c) Sigh.  You're all right.  The pictures in the CD booklet are *way* too
small.  But hey, at least I have a nifty box to keep my CDs in.

d) WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH THE STICKERS?

e) How did I live without these B-sides?  "Under the Ivy" is mindblowing.

f) First time I heard "Lord of the Reedy River," I thought it was going to
"Playing Canasta in Cold Rooms" (I wasn't looking at the track list).  Is
it just me, or is does the melody/words of that first line ("I fell in
love...") sound just like "PCiCR"?  I wish it had been, I'd love a decent
recording of that song!

g) So what if I now have two or three copies of all the TSW B-sides (this
is what happens when you mix import 12"s and CD singles with domestic
singles)?

h)  Heaven.  Absolute heaven.

<contented sigh>
