Can't win, can you?

The logo/MR stuff is an integral part of the artwork, and to not use it is to destroy the package. I'd personally assume that use of the MR logo is part of the contract, which is - of course - still in force for past releases. I could be wrong, but that's what I reckon.

Amazing. These are now just £4.97 each from Amazon. Excuses?

price war started by the Zuma deal, obviously...

nice to know we can make a difference.

Apparently they're now available on iTunes (with interactive booklets):

WTF is an interactive booklet?

It's a booklet that's interactive.

Nuuuuuup! still don't get it...

You'll probably just be able to watch it on your computer, which isn't strictly interactive, I'd say...

Maybe you get to turn the page. Thats interactive!

Ooooooooooh !!!

There are no lyrics in it, you can write them yourself!
Wow, that´s what I´ve been waiting for...

Ladies and gentlemen: By now a new batch of Vision Thing reissues have landed.
This time without the spelling error on the spine
So no more Visioin Thing...

does that mean I have a rarity?

Nope, it means that those Rhino's love the Sisters too... they just keep'm in the pressing plant

Just had a seriously moving experience:
I have listened to both my Re-releases I bought-well, yesterday.
After all those years, I love every note of those songd. That´s what I call a happy relationship with my fav band!
Floodland. No need anymore how absolutely great the full version is, the rawness of the sound even gives it a natural touch, beyond clinical perfection.
Marvelous!
Then FALAA (I was looking forward to typing FAAA here, but they got it right on my copy, it seems I won´t get a Visoin Thing either when the time is..):
I think the audio quality is audibly better than on the old CD version.
If I would write down all I think of at the moment, I´d end up writing a novel. I´m really moved after 3 hours of listening.

(I really chose a good band for my personal fandom!)

Seconded eotunun

Good old Father Christmas bought me both the re-issues I wanted.
Great to hear FALAA as it used to sound(But minus the pops and hisses of vynyl) and Floodland,with the addition of the stunning long version "Neverland" and a proper version of "Emma", is f**king fantastic.It really has given me a whole new outlook on Floodland and I have to concede that it is The greatest album ever made.Yep even better than Elizium (Sorry Carl).

Good to see the Never Land (full length) is still working its majesty.

That song will still give me moments of goose skin in ten years.

By the way kids - Fopp are selling them for a fiver now.

Any stingy gits out there waiting till they drop to 10p?

I bought them for each 11.50 €.Shame they didn't get Untitled on the remastered Floodland version.

I guess you didn't buy them online then?

Hi folks-

Forgive me if the answer to this question is somewhere in the previous 24 pages of posts in this thread, but have they now fixed the skipping in the live version of "Something Fast" on the "Vision Thing" UK reissue? Is it yet worth me buying copy number three..?
