A Very Lonely and Sparsely-attended Thread Wherein We Discuss the 'Special Edition' re-releases by Gene Loves Jezebel

You should, they're great.

Don't think I've muttered it in full on this thread but "Bread from Heaven" still works as a snarling anti-Thatcher blast (specifically regarding policy towards Wales) sublimated into this moody crawl of far-in-the-distance drums, ghostly echoes of feedback and vocal keening. Too oblique for its own good maybe -- I didn't realize what the song was about until I stumbled across an explanation for it in an interview by one of the brothers -- but one of the better overtly politicized songs of the time that works still.

Shit I now have to go out and buy every GLJ album, thanks.

Always happy to help.
