Did they include Wings of Mercury on the CN remaster?  I haven't seen
it yet, but I'd buy it to get that song just for completeness sake.
Not the greatest BOC tune, but as good as a lot of the stuff that DID
make CN...

I agree, but I imagine I'd buy remasters anyway.  Personally, I think
it would be cool to hear such a project, though I think the
production on the early albums is pretty great, esp. given the time
frame in which they appeared, and the quality of other albums from
around that time...
