Good to see this reissued. One of the most underrated CD's in my collection. It doesn't have the level of musicianship of Rush, but the songwriting is really good. Really good lyrics as well.

Any chance the reissue is packaged in a jewel case? I have a copy of the original release, but the digipak is partially damaged.

I don't see Wounded Bird doing a digipak.

Good point about Wounded Bird improving on the initial release by ditching the original digipak. That's a good reissue marketing angle right there. I've bought Japanese imports just for the advantage of getting a jewel case before.

I didn't realize $4.88 was big bucks on ebay.
Wounded Bird-gotta love those descriptions. This was a good album but very, very dry. Geddy should not be playing guitar-he sounds like a bass player playing guitar. In other words-not very interesting.

Ben Mink actually played almost all of the guitar parts on Headache. He is a very talented guy (he's a multi-instrumentalist - he does the fantastic electric violin solo on Rush's "Losing It"), but he isn't Mr. Lifeson.

Yes, but Geddy played a lot of guitar too. I know Mink did and he used to be in FM, but the musicianship on this album is trite-it's really a singer/songwriter type of deal without the sap.

FYI, confirmed that the Wounded Bird reissue is indeed packaged in a standard jewel case.
