Thanks for the heads up Rob.
No problem…
Not sure about the point of the release to be honest. I'm sure the gatefold cover will be a work of art. However for serious John Foxx collectors there's sonically nothing new here.
But it's not always about
new material.
The reaction to the recently released vinyl version(s) of
Metamatic was so positive that it was decided to collect together the other
Metamatic -era tracks, and create a special limited edition.
Is it going to be the same for the future 'The Garden' era vinyl release I wonder.
I honestly don't know at this stage...
Other than for obtaining the gatefold cover I wouldn't see the point in buying it. I still prefer CDs myself. I don't understand the recent fetishisation of vinyl. Sure its sound pretty good at first but with time surface noise increases.
Some people really like vinyl - and that's why it's been produced to meet that demand.
Other people (yourself included) prefer CDs - and that's more than fine as well. Different releases in different formats for different people.
