In my opinion, Universal made a grotty mess of the whole reissue. From the track listing, to the availability of the signed copies, to the dubious bell-ringing event, not to mention the release date itself.. it's all starting to take on the faint whiff of tricky-dicky marketing. I don't think my expectations were unrealistically high, as I would have had a far more generous opinion (and wallet) if any of the above issues were done right.
As an enthusiast of MO's music (and that's all that should matter, anyway), it really came down to just one factor for me: No "Exorcist" remix (OR it's accompanying B-side) + no "Froggy Went A-Courting = no money coming out of my pocket.
Deluxe editions? What a load of bollocks. Torrents, here I come.
Again, just my opinion.
