"2022 remaster" - I have no problems with the 2004 remaster?

I liked it too, but it was very clipped and Sleeve didn't like it, so I'm curious about what people say and if the extras are noteworthy

lol yeah don't get me started on those botched Mute CDs, more clipping than I have ever seen anywhere else ever

oh I see - yeah, the new remaster fixes that.

yeah this new LP remaster sounds great, can confirm
it's such a bummer that all the original artwork from this era seems to be lost, but there are tons of super cool new photos from the era that are used here to great effect, I'm still keeping the 1982 Italian Base pressing that I've had for decades because the art is all different but this is a worthy reissue and highly recommended
this is also available as a double CD with bonus tracks on the 2nd disc, I can't comment on the mastering here but I assume it's better than previous CD iterationshttps://www.discogs.com/release/25162990-Virgin-Prunes-If-I-Die-I-Die

I can really hear the remastering details on "Bau-Dachong" which is my fave, I am thrilled

It would appear that "Fádo" from the 2004 reissue is different than "Fado (rough mix)" on the new release. The piano-driven second half of the former in particular doesn't appear in the latter.

Enjoyed that youtube series. I learned there's another 2 parts of A New Form Of Beauty that might yet be released (Gavin wouldn't tease us without delivering would he?), I was surprised that his favorite release was Heresie

If you can, find "The Hidden Lie".
It's a live album that I picked up at the old cut-out store in Old Town in Chicago.
It's my personal favorite Prunes album. Beautiful sound quality.

thank you! gee I'd love to hear those other New Form parts before I die, or Gavin dies...

but hey, if I die, I die, right?
Okay, that documentary is badly cropped so I can't see the names of some of the speakers and there's more parts that I can't find, it obviously had longer to go
