Every CD of this title is a remix other than the Audio Fidelty disc. Not that there's much difference.

The original is also on the It Shall Be box.
I think I prefer the remix!

Ah, you're right!. The first Spirit album is only available on CD in its original stereo mix on the Audio Fidelity though. And Mobile Fidelity used the original mix of Dr Sardonicus for their silver disc ages ago too.

So C., are we doing just the album or the CD with bonus tracks?

Firstly Chas, it will be great to have you aboard!
Regarding 'bonus' tracks - it varies from week to week.
One: some folk have to get off to other commitments
Two: sometimes the 'extras' are poor quality
Three: sometimes we play selected ones
Four: sometimes we play them all.
Regarding Spirit - we'll wait and see until we approach the end of the main album and take a straw poll.
However, if you were really keen Chas - I for one would stick around and join you!

Cheers, Stephen.
It happens that I've got people coming in the morning to (hopefully) fix my air conditioning, and I have no idea how long they'll be here. If they're out of my hair by 4PM (9 your time) I'll join you!
(The bonus tracks on that one are pretty strong.)
