Result or what!

Know which ones i'll be at.

Hmm, so Gary's playing at Sheffield Corporation (directly behind my flat) on November 20th (my birthday). It'd feel rude not to go...

I'm quite annoyed Gary is coming back to the Corp and not the new Academy, which is a much better and more suitable venue. The Replicas tour at the Corp was like watching the show through a letterbox.

Although the Corporation is the place for goth/alt/metal/etc fans, so I guess it's good from that point of view.

Yeah, I've never yet actually been inside, but it doesn't look all that big. Still...'Cars'!!

So kind of him ....

The Pleasure Principle 30th Anniversary Edition

Hurrah!

Blimey! I'm stunned - well worth it just for those Live EPs....but just a few niggles; can't say I'm impressed with the lazy disc artwork - would of been happier if they kept to the scans of the original Beggars labels. And why would you want the original vinyl of Living Ornaments '79 reproduced if you've got the all singing and all robotic dancing of the CD edition issued a few years ago?

All in all another overpriced album from Townsend Records.
We're in a recession, guys!

Anyway, the whole package is a bit redundant if you've already got Living Ornaments 79. I find demo tracks have very limited appeal, so anybody who already has the original album and the live album are paying through the nose for a trickle of limited appeal demos and live bits.

Now, I'm curious about the inclusion of "Photograph" here - that's a Telekon b-side. Maybe it started life back in '79...
