Found this in the cutout bin, it's a
British import. Unfortunately, the versions of "Miracles"
and "St. Charles" are the singles edits. There's only one (!)
Grace song, the bulk of the CD being the Marty and Mickey show.
Does have a nice performance shot in the booklet (from the
Spitfire tour, I think). My first time hearing "Light the Sky
on Fire"; you gotta love a song with lyrics like "We'll vanish
without a trace into the cigar-shaped object" - well, maybe not.
The rat-bastards promise 77 minutes on the jacket; there's only
72 - those missing minutes perhaps cut from those butchered songs?
Still, if you're like me, and haven't replaced your aging vinyl with
the CD releases, you might find this collection attractive. As for
myself, I wish I had bought Dragonfly instead.
