I'm glad this is finally coming. It was initially announced pre pandemic i believe. It's definitely one of their best records.

That's some good news! Glad I have all of the other DLX RMS so far. It's hard to keep up with everything out these days with finite resources.Good pricing.

Excellent news. Another fine deluxe edition from the Liverpool duo.
The only missing track is the instigator 7" single version, but anyway will be a great purchase.

PD: Some known leech will wait until someone buy this one to ask for it

Yes I think Instigator (non Fuzzbox) is the only thing missing so more or less comprehensive.

Love love love CC, and will certainly be getting this. The original CD always sounded thin, brittle, and bright...hopefully that is rectified here. Not my face CC album, but excited nonetheless!

Slightly disappointed that the 7" mix of "The Instigator" was not included for completion's sake. I have the "Best Kept Secret" 12" with the Italian Fuzzbox version. I used to have the CD single with the straight version, but I foolishly sold it off when I bought "The Collection" with the bonus B-side disc… and then they included the Italian Fuzzbox version on it!

Yeah, that one. I need to get another one one day. I stupidly sold it off since I had ordered "The Collection" and thought that it would be not here but they put the Italian Fuzzbox version on disc 2 of "the Collection." Back in the days when I would trade off titles before I had the ordered disc in hand. A bad policy as I particularly found out when ordering Torch Song's "Exhibit A" from Japan and sold the LP before I found out months later that my CD was not going to be delivered. It took me years to find another copy of the LP!

Great band and superb live, always found this album diificult to get into, that said "Arizone Sky" is one of my all time favourite tracks, should have been a massive hit.

I was disappointed when the album came out. However it grew on me and became one of my favorite.

I have seen that disc 2, track 5 was supposed to be the Andy Partridge production of "Best Kept Secret" and by mistake, the LP version of "Best Kept Secret" was used twice. Has anyone heard of if/how this will be addressed? We might not get a re-press of disc 2 but maybe a DL file will be done?

I'll probably get it at some point but was waiting for a few reviews. Wonder what happened to the Andy Partridge mix? Someone on Amazon posted a review saying that the remastered version didn't sound as good as the original.
