Valid criticism indeed.  Also, BD's guitar is a little over-processed
for my taste...

Maybe it was an early manifestation of his current
vocal 'problems?'

> 4. "TV Mixes" - again, why?

an abomination...

> 5. No Bouchards (as Theo mentioned)

Esp. considering that we know the material exists, and has been
played live for years...

> 7. Not the greatest of mixing (other than "Flaming Telepaths", keyboards
> seem almost non-existent)

Really!  Was Allen present for any of this?
