all these years, and i didn't know re the 2 variations of the cd release of this album.

i had the vinyl and so, until a few years ago didn't bother re cd.

now i find out that they revised the album massively for the original cd release in '85 with extended and revised versions of all but 3 of the tracks!

of course, the normal cd edition that i picked up years later had reverted back to the 'standard' album, meaning today was the first time i heard its massively improved cousin.

and to answer the question earlier, thought (pt.1 and pt.2) are from wishful thinking, which is a little unnecessary as surely the best option would be to re-release the whole thing seperately ?

anyway, its weird hearing the 20 minute cassette version of duel/jewel again after all this time.

i cant deny, i would have preferred the 20 minute version of Dr. Mabuse, but it could be that it wasn't that much different from the standard 12" versions. (can't recall which versions were on the cassette etc etc)

Quit paying attention for a few years and you're liable to lose out on two or three deluxe expanded original anniversary half-speed master remastered first time floating inside a special cumulonimbus cloudpak reissues containing the original US CD or nondefinitive UK LP tracklist with and/or without select bonus tracks.

Christ!

Yeah, the anniversary editions of the debut and the companion remix LP add a ton of great stuff.
