I wonder whether there'll be a noticeable difference between the two releases. Peter Hi Peter, My problem with the Edsel re-issues is that, not a lot of thought or care seemed to go into them - the artwork is seriously bad - look at that photo of John slapped on the back of the beautiful artwork IMW for example - sacrilige! . If you compare, the re-issue of Systems of Romance to TGS you'll see the attention to detail that went into SOR; correct type, correct era photo's etc. Sound-wise I understand that they're not that great either - taken from the mastertape and not the original multi-tracks (I wouldn't know as I refuse to buy them!) Ultimately, I'm still wondering why John had little/if any involvement in the Edsel re-issues. Garry [/b] I'm totally with you with this one, Garry. IMW didn't deserve those photos. Totally out of place. But what I want to know is, where's the rest of the 'topless' photo's for TGS? I was hoping for a bit more than just head and shoulders! LOL Sorry, folks. Sarah

My only contribution to the vocal/instrumental debate would be to suggest that [b]"To Be With You" doesn't seem like a particularly Metamatic kind of title and is not innkeeping with the album's rather anti-personal theme. Hence its relegation to the subs bench all those years ago I suppose... Can't wait to hear it [/b] Quite. Without diving for the lyric sheet, I don't think there are any 'second person' references at all on Metamatic. Nice Freudian slip with 'innkeeping', btw! [/b] There are a few in Plaza: "I remember your face from some shattered windscreen" and so on. It's not quite "To Be With You" Celine Dion territory, admittedly.

[/b] Cough, splutter.... 'tagged on at the end????' but, but... implodes with indignation [/QB] I agree completely, Metamatic without Touch and Go is like a film without an ending. Although, having said that, a film without an ending sounds like a good thing?? Just to clarify, I love "Touch and Go"
