No 12" singles. Those are the Steve Lillywhite years, and he never met a song that he didn't want to extend. These versions from the Crossing are among the best 12" singles I have ever heard.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-51576624915620594182013-12-30T12:34:44.400-05:002013-12-30T12:34:44.400-05:00Hi Echorich. Looking forward to that list of yours...Hi Echorich. Looking forward to that list of yours. You kept me busy last January. My Paul Young problem goes back to my earliest days as a music buyer. He was my second show ever. I lived in the sticks of Illinois, and he actually made a concert stop at the local college. There just weren't shows like that where I grew up. So, I was really into No Parlez.<br /><br />Hi Uncle E. My guess is you will be happy with your original copy of the Crossing. The extras on disc one are the B-sides, and those are keepers for sure. Disc two is almost all demos. That's for the die-hard fans. I had most of them already, but there were a few that had never been released before. The sound quality of the remastered album is improved. My beef with the deluxe edition is the cover... made from the flimsiest of paper. I don't like that I have to handle it with so much care when I pull it out. <br /><br />I will always have happy memories of buying it. The deluxe edition came out the same day I saw them perform the album in its entirety at Barrowland in Glasgow. So I actually got to buy this import in the record store! It was one of the greatest days of my life.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-65584853320418232952013-12-30T12:04:27.445-05:002013-12-30T12:04:27.445-05:00OOPS, forgot the Blue Nile reissues in my list thi...OOPS, forgot the Blue Nile reissues in my list this year! Dang! Also, been meaning to have a listen to The Pastels, a band that totally passed me by initially. Fantastic list!<br />Oh, lastly: Been thinking of picking up The Crossing Deluxe Edition...is it worth it, or is my original beaten up copy satisfactory?Uncle Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570327775449916376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-69203950977106622072013-12-28T22:23:32.301-05:002013-12-28T22:23:32.301-05:00great list!

In fact I will go as far as to say Raoul And The Kings Of Spain is one of my favorite go to albums. <br />Good on ya for including The Primitives.
