RE: Swagger Reissue Update

[gareth james <gtbcomps@ya...co.uk>]

For those who can't be arsed to check on amazon.
  
  the extra tracks:
  1. s.t.r.a.n.g.e. (previously unreleased)
  2. Love Come Round (hurdy-gurdy version) (previously unreleased)
  3. Razorwalk
  4. Different Now
  5. Big Sky
  6. 88 Out (live) (previously unreleased)
  7. I Wanna Be Your Lover (live) (previously unreleased)
  8. Careful Boy (Nicky Campbell Radio 1 session  version) (previously 
unreleased)
  9. What It Is (Michael Stipe version)
  10. ?And Stones (DJ Bootleg)
  11. You Are Loved
  12. You?re Going To Need Somebody
  13. Sweet Jane
  14. World View Blue (acoustic version)
  
  umm.... 
  And to think I will need to buy this new version cos my CD version is 
about to sell on e-bay!! Not one of my cleverest ideas!!!
  
  Anyway, are we all meeting up in one place in 10 days time first before  
the concert? And as it will be my first trip to Bristol, just how many  of 
us will there be???

The production on "Swagger" is extremely good-- the instruments all have 
space
(i.e. "Jacket Hangs", "World View Blue"), they all have the right amount of
"swirl" (i.e. "What It Is"), they all have the right levels (i.e. the whole
record-- my biggest complaint with recordings these days is the insane 
amount
of compression and bass that are applied), etc.  It's one of the things 
that
makes Swagger such a stunning record.   

In fact, the first 5 tracks of off "Swagger" are (for me) the most 
perfectly
arranged, produced, and performed pop tunes ever.

Ever.
