Here here.....I couldn't agree more. However the best part on Complete 79
has to be the slow synthesised and guitar phased build up to Motorway City
on the second CD. Apart from the middle part of this track...it is actually
much better than the Live 79 version.
I think the whole of Complete 79 deserves to be re-editted,mixed and
engineered to clean it all up audibly.
