what a wasted opportunity this is. there are dozens of quality Manics tunes that were available only on the 2nd CD single, on Japan only releases (cheers for that Sony), cassette singles, DVD singles and 7" singles. for a band that has a reputation of being goof with fans, what an incredible, astonishing slap in the face this release is, especially with the ludicrous cost of it.
you really, really have to hope that this is the work of their horrid, anti-consumer record label, Sony. please let it not be that the band decided this was at all appropriate to release, as "pretty" as it looks.
once again then, i would have no hesitation in suggesting you seek out the 2xCD or 2xCD and 1xDVD of National Treasures, due for release on October 31. if you purchase this set you clearly have far, far, far too much money, no matter how much you love the band.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
