This CD is padded with a lot of duplicate tunes in different versions. There are only about six unique songs on it, and the only one that is any good is _Don't Answer Me_. For the slowness of handling and the expense of getting it shipped, it's not worth buying. The CD case was also broken in handling or shipping but the CD itself was not damaged. I've bought two other APP CDs from the same vendor under the same release and the same problems with slow handling are being experienced again.
I've been an APP fan since being introduced to Prog. Rock at 15. Of course I have all the CD's, greatest hits etc. I wanted to hear the alternate versions of songs especially since Eric Woolfson is no longer with us. I found it interesting that one song actually started out as an instrumental before it had lyrics. It is interesting and insightful after listening to the finished verions of the songs to hear the demos, guide vocals etc. I enjoy it and I do plan to buy the rest of the extended cd versions of the APP collection. That's what a rabid fan does!
I purchased all APP remasters so far. I just love them! I got the 1984 issue of Ammonia Avenue but I did not hesitate to buy this remastered version.The old CD sounds great,but this is even better! The bonus tracks alone justify buying this edition! I hope soon Mr. Parsons will issue all his albums remastered and remixed in 5.1 surround sound on SADC or DVD Audio(see "A Valid Path" and "On Air"!!!!). If this happens...I will buy them all!
Great lineup of songs with Don't Answer Me and Prime Time.
