What You Are Listening To Now ...... ...Phoenix Rises !!

Well Neil & Foz,

What's the HOLY GRAIL like on Raw To The Bone ? I thought you'd have posted some review of the previously unreleased tracks by now

Are the bonus discs worth investing in as well ? Again the RTTB stuff looks good but what are the American mixes on Twin Barrels Burning like ?

Cheers

I've only played the CDs once and on first impressions I like the American remixes of TBB. As I said before, these are not exactly my 'go to' albums of WA, but they were better than I thought they would be. The CD sleeve notes seem to diss the American mixes as they weren't authorised by the band, but I like them. The R2TB CD is ok. I was pleasantly surprised by the live material and also the 1986 Sessions were interesting - You can see where the band were heading afterwards sound-wise.

Just noticed that the Raw To The Bone BBC material and the Twin Barrels American Remixes can be previewed in the iTunes store.
