Bless you for taking care of the over worked nurse. I’m sure she needs all the love and distraction she can get.


she gives it right back. a force of nature, she is.

it isn't just that she's, like, 5'2" and can drink more beer than i could ever carry.

she is.. fantastic. when she hangs out here, that's when she feels comfy lettingggg it allll out.

best. ever.

Be careful - there was a remixed, digitally upgraded CD version that included electronic drums and edited out some of the guitar work, shortening songs. That version on CD is going for five pounds on amazon here, it ain't worth a farthing.

Vinyl and downloads after 2011 are the old mix. CD is the problem.


I remember this as if it were yesterday.

I had the albums on vinyl but fancied the CDs

I bought a couple initially - Tres Hombres and Deguello and the remixes were awful as Chris suggests.

It was a long time ago and I may be wrong but I can't recall all the albums getting that treatment.

I thought, probably wrongly, that Rio Grande Mud avoided that sacrilege.

I looked at my collection this morning and I recall binning the two above and not buying any of the others until I bought this in 2013 [original mixes]:

How do others remember it?

That CD box contains the original mixes, Stephen. Only thing is I think a couple of the albums on that box have the channels reversed. I can't recall which ones they are, or even if they are entire albums which have that issue, or merely a few songs. Anyway, you can read about it here:
