Spotted this on Amazon. No info as yet on Facebook although there's been talk for a while now about an expanded reissue . Weird label though, Smalls Live... never heard of it. Anyone else have any news?

That'll be great! Had the vinyl LP back in the day. All 4 singles (Fight For Ourselves, Through The Barricades, Cross The Line & How Many Lies?) have extended versions, some of them even intrumental/dub versions.
Let it go :).

Can't wait for extended versions of songs from what is universally considered their worst album.

That would be the next one: "Heart Like A Turgid, Mid-Tempo Ballad!" "Barricades" at least had a pulse; as fraudulent as it was. The shoulder pads and mullets were out on force on that one! I have to admit, that I was intrigued to see the Spain only "Cross The Line" ext. remix. That was one of the better moments. The less said about the title track, the better.

I'm really looking forward to this, I totally love that album. I was so disappointed with the remastering on their Chrysalis albums, I hope Sony do this one justice!
