Good things in The Lot (first edition)

Thanx for that one Rodg..... ;)

I Wanna a Testify and Turn on the TV, like I have never heard them before. I remember buying this when it came out ('77/78?) and all I've had since then is an old 7 inch to listen to. What great songs., never appreciated just how great the guitar and bass are.

Question for those who have it...I haven't heard any mention about how Roger's version of Whole House Rockin' Is? I heard That QPR's Small was better than RT's for example but nothing of Whole House Rockin?

For that matter, I'd love to hear more about the album (and other tracks) beyond how many errors there are!

Whole House Rockin' is similar to the live version RT did with the SAS Band. It's just an old fashioned rocker in a style similar to No More Fun, I Am The Drummer or Keep A Knockin'.

Thanks :). I always wanted to hear a studio version of Roger's ideas....better worse I the same a QPRs?

Ok, yes, there are some (understatement) flaws with this set, but I do like the stand alone versions on Happiness? and Electric Fire. No idea why they did this but it is a nice twist. Although adding at least 1-2 secs of silence after each track on EF was perhaps a bit too much sometimes. Still, having stand alone versions is cool!

^ and you did get that extra copy of Strange Frontier

^ yes true, just imagine how mega rare my copy will be in the next few years. Who doesn't want to have that box which doesn't have that Life Changes error!

Me and my kids like to headbang to the extended version of Top Of The World Ma....

Man On Fire (live) is brilliant...

I have always had a soft-spot for Love Lies Bleeding, and love the remix.

Something that surprised me though, was the Shove It disc tracklist. I really thought the other version of the album (was it the USA release?) would be included, with Heaven for Everyone (RT vocal), and Feel The Force - leaving The 2nd Shelf Mix for the singles disc (which it was anyway).

It is a better version of the album IMO :D

I have just quickly compared the tracks from The Lot (studio albums) with the Original studio albums.

I must say, the sound on The Lot is superb.
(besides the errors and speed of course, but that's another thread)

If the errors are corrected, this box is a kind of magic.

I can only listen to it on Spotify at the moment - but I have to say that streaming at high res at 320kps the sound is stunning. That Denniz Pop mix of Shove It makes my teeth rattle!
