This is from Cherry Red, so let the buyer BEWARE! Sometimes, they do a good job, but more often than not, it's crap rips from vinyl or cassette.
However, it would be nice to see this back catalogue properly remastered, and why hasn't the debut been handled by Arista/BMG???

Wow...how many times are they going to reissue this one? I've already got two different versions...the one on Beehive and the US version from 2004.

The Beehive bonuses were...

Rosenmontag
Quicksand
The Last Flight Of Yuri Gagarin

The 2004 US version's bonuses were...

Committed (Extended Version)
Quicksand
I Ran (Live)

So I guess if I get this new version, I'll also have "Tanglimara" and two extended versions. Nah...pass.

How does the sound compare on those first two CDs? I have the second one (and I guess that Beehive issue is pretty darned rare).

The majors aren't too bothered about the back catalogue just remarketing the hits with a few notable exceptions. At least it will be back in circulation and maybe someone will review it here.

Walter, what the hell is Beehive and who was behind the remastering of that? I've never even heard of Beehive.

IP...truthfully, I hadn't either. I don't have the CD in front of me, but I think it was something like "Beehive Trading Company" or something like that. I don't remember for certain. It strikes me that they might have done one of the other AFOS titles, like "The Story Of A Young Heart", but I'm not sure about that and "Listen" is the only Beehive title I have.

I double-checked...the company is listed as "Beehive Trading LTD" on the back of the CD cover and the catalog number for their version of "Listen" is BEECD 8, which would lead one to believe that there have been other Beehive released. I really don't know any more.

Trading? Sounds like a boot to me!
