got my signed version today...at last...was beginning to worry. thought for a second the signatures were printed and was about to rant then realised the ink shows through on the reverse side of the page...so calmed down then. the quality of these demos is fantastic. i was expecting raw, difficult to hear vocals as seems to be the norm with some 'demo' versions, but these are great. nice to hear these stripped down versions. cheers.

A truely gripping album. The fuss over the cover is worth further pursuit. If you really want to express your anger, outrage, dismay, and have fun at the same time, why not buy the t-shirt (presumably available from the forthcoming gigs) and take a walk around your nearest Tesco. I'm not suggesting you buy anything from them, they don't need the money, but see if you can offend someone.

A brief, and very subjective, review of the deluxe edition of the record.

Listening to this record, and looking at Richey's lyrics and art work, is like seeing a scrapbook and feeling old feelings again, but from the vantage point of years, a 'Holy Bible' viewed from a distance. 'Facing Page..' and 'All is Vanity' make me long for winter (was 'Holy Bible' released in the summer as well? How gloriously inappropriate!) But this 'This Joke Sport..' and especially, as it's title suggests, 'Doors Closing Slowly' sond like coda to an era.

'Peeled Apples' still sounds a bit uncool to me but it may grow on me and isn't this what theManics have always done, make the uncool very cool indeed. And 'V.S.E.C' is fantastically groovy, threatening to dissolve into 'Outdoor Miner' by the other Wire.

No hidden track with the deluxe issue but it's worth buying the regular record as well because this issue is a wonderful thing. A very beautiful and comforting record.

ok i emailed townshend records today and all signatures are authentic and not copies... you can kind of tell when you turn the page over and let the light pass through the page, as for bag lady its only on the standard issue cd, me thinks the record company buggered up burning the discs and missed out the song... amateurs... that just leaves me with one problem; the cover came ripped.... do i dare send it back?

	1 year ago ditta wrote... got mine on saturday, it sounds great. i'm waiting for the signed version too, can't wait to see it!

	1 year ago MSP1996 wrote... what an immense, superb, fantastic, brilliant, epic, biblical, great, lovely, phenomenal album that the manics have produced!!! i must say at first i was a bit nervous about whether this wud work or not, but it fucking has!!!!! hats off to the manics!.....
