Getting Away With It: The ELECTRONIC Poll

bloody hell, i hate this bands name.
makes ilm, google etc impossible to dig around for more info.
anyways, have had the orig cd for years, and never really got into it as it sounds so weak and limp.
then the other day i spotted a version in a local charity shop with a different cover.
got home and did the usual discogs check up.
had no idea re the 1993 remaster, and decided to spend the wallet busting 50p.
yeah, not to get all SHF, but this is a lot better than the original cd version.
it's not just louder, but better definition, seperation and cleaner/crisper.
enjoying it so so much more.
i guess someone realised quite soon after the original release that the cd edition just didn't sound that good, hence the very quick 'remaster'.

Look at me, I always get the blame

I’d like to read
I’d like to write
But where I live
I learned to fight
So don’t you ever say that we’re the same

He can't get over the fact that Chris goes to sleep in the studio. When we did 'Patience Of A Saint', it was quite embarrassing trying to write with them. Chris had this chord change and then Johnny Marr put a bass line on it and I wrote a tune. It took about 10 or 15 minutes. And then it was time to go to The Hacienda..."
