Can't believe "Perhaps" hasn't been given the 2CD Deluxe treatment, the best Associates album for me.
Dunno if it's the best, but I'm happy with the 2CD set that featured
The Glamour Chase, but considering how he felt about the album at the time (apparently he wasn't happy with it), so maybe there's not enough material in the vaults for a 2CD set.
Another weird thing about this Associates re-issue campaign is The new
Very Best Of - half the singles are missing.
A Matter Of Gender, Those First Impressions, Waiting For The Loveboat, Breakfast, Take Me To The Girl, Heart Of Glass, Country Boy etc etc. Can’t believe they missed off
The Rhythm Divine as well - should've been put on Disc 2. Bizarrely Disc 2 has an instrumental version of
Waiting for The Loveboat, but not the single itself;
