HW: news?

[Amphetamine Embalmer]

Its a really tasty digipak on Plastichead. Gatefold LP style like the digis of the EMI ones.  It also has some restored/extended tracks.

Also, the Yuri remaster (also on Plastichead) is with an extra track which is not HW but a speech by Gagarin- it sounds better though, and has a new cover with an Astronaut and a cardboard slipcase- I for one never understood what a horse and a rider had to do with Yuri Gagarin so.....

they are both the "definitive" remasters IMHO.

Ooops more....Eli Friedman pointed out that the 2002 Cleopatra version
(pretty sure that's correct) has a repo of the tour program, so this could
be a sway element, and also, Christian has the newest one on CD, and this is
where I go unhelpful due to money constraints, but maybe he has something to
say????
