Visage - 'The Anvil' (cherry red release)

Is the Visage re-release any good given what's been written before in here about it?

Its a bit 50/50 E.G. The artworks not really extended in any way. The nine album tracks appear to be a straight transfer with no remastering, and then theres extras. Its great to hear 'Motivation' and 'Im Still Searching' on cd, but not other tracks that should be on a 'Visage' reissue only.
A bit of nit picking here but the extras have about a 25% volume increase from the album tracks. So it looks (sounds) like not just no remastering, but no leveling either.
They did get it right by saying a reissue was long over due. I just feel they could have done more given it has been so long. Its better than paying for a nine track album for £50+ on ebay for sure.

Thanks for your thoughts Newvox, I appreciate those. I've read what others think about the re-release of this also and have to be honest in that I won't be buying it as, well, it just doesn't seem to give enough value for me. Better to save the pennies for the upcoming Ultravox EMI re-releases I think.

Today it's Fleetwood Mac 'Tusk', and yes, with all the gaps as Lindsay Buckingham originally intended.

Incredible musician, Mr Buckingham...

This morning I'm playing tracks from the Amiga Remix website!

And after that I'll play Recliner Vol.1, which arrived yesterday!

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from.
I like your style...
