This will be the second remaster of Pure & crooked. There are 2 US editions. In my opnion, P&C is his best 90's release. Unfortunately, if Amazon's track listing is correct, this is missing the 5 bonus tracks from the US P&C remaster. Skeleton keys is also quite good.

If you don't already own these, & can't find the expanded Pure & Crooked (both us versions are out of print & Sketeton keys is also oop in the US), I would highly reccomend this pairing.

This reminds me, I need to pick up Matthews/Surkamp the Hi-Fi complete works cd/dvd set. It's another I've been waiting to find a reasonable price on, but i din't want to wait until it goes out of print......... I do have the vinyl but.... & that one comes with the PBS video too.

"pure and crooked" has a great cover of peter gabriel's "mercy street", and "living in reverse" on "skeleton keys" would/should have been a hit in a perfect world

worth getting if you like matthews and don't have them.
