Would be a good time for that perfect Anniversary Edition of the album we've all always wanted. You know, 3 discs...complete set of bonus tracks (including Body And Soul EP in full) on disc 2, and a fully restored DVD of Wake on the 3rd disc.

One can dream....

And to extend the dream a little more:

The Wake DVD should include the three missing tracks also.

...add a 4th disc of demos and the Peel session and I think we'd all spooge in a quite undignified manner. :D

By some strange coincidence I am looking for cd versions of this: http://sisterswiki.org/Ghost_Rider as I really like the version of Train on my 7".

It turns out the tracks are from this: http://sisterswiki.org/Mon,_11-Mar-1985.

Spooky.

PLUS car stickers, patch, badges and 30 years anniversary shirt ... :lol: ...
Well, and of course a lighter ... or maybe another tea towel & mug set ... and ... :lol: ...

But joking aside, 30 Years First And Last And Always ... a record like there never had been one before ... :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: ...

also: Kids These Days Don't Know They're Born Mix: You Could Be The One (walking 20 miles to school, barefoot, uphill both ways, in all weathers, with a sack of coal for the schoolroom fire, and be grateful for the opportunity to learn)

Thanks for reminding us of the anniversary, @MH, and for the cool tour ad, @spiggymr7. And it seems like thirty years of a feeling of slightly underwhelming anticlimax. Still the best of the three albums though.
