Rating: unmoved This record left redspecial feeling unmoved.

While this album is a classic without a shadow of a doubt, I have problems with the LIlith reissue.

First, 10.15 Saturday Night originally segues into Accuracy - not in this reissue. The label placed a gap in between the two and you can hear still a few milliseconds of the tail end of the first track into the second.

Second, The Weedy Burton is not included. It ended with the title track.

And lastly, the scream at the end of Subway Song is shortened by a few seconds.

Probably the redeeming thing about this reissue is the excellent sound quality. But the problems I mentioned above mad me scratch my head.

I guess there is room for improvement for Lilith Records, they can always make another proper reissue with all the mistakes recitified.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
