An absolute must! Finely packaged with great liner notes and a fair share of great bonus tracks. The album itself never sounded better, and the songs and Harry's voice are still as wonderful as ever. The addition of demo versions of many of the tracks is great, we get to hear a very amusing "Coconut" and a brilliant piano/vocal version of "Gotta Get Up". The demo of "Without You" has Harry straining for the high notes and suffering for it, which is actually quite amusing considering the brilliance of the later master. On the other side of the coin however, those familiar with the extremely hoarse vocal on the PUSSY CATS version of "Old Forgotten Soldier" will wallow in delight at the beautiful version issued here, which although missing some verses, has Harry in fantastic voice and yodelling through a wonderful ending. This album is one of those albums that every music lover should own - and this CD re-issue is the best version so far. |
