What rubbish!

Have you never listened to ANY of the Charisma LP's .... nothing recycled
there (except MAYBE some of the lyrics of 'Days of the Underground' and
'Spirit of the Age'). CotBS was 100% new as well, as was WotEoT and
Levitation (allthough 'Motorway City' was on Live 79).

Have to admit that many other LP's have recycled tracks, but it many
cases (at least up pre 1985) they are different enough from the originals.

What does makes it seem worse than it is would be the multitude of
compilations and bootleg releases.

All the same, it would be refreshing for HW to release a 100% new studio
LP, but I'm buying the new one anyway ASAP!
