    Don`t think sound of faith can be really improved can it? The original sounds great! :righton:

    What the hell is 'Fantasy' doing on a Faith deluxe edition!? That was the b-side to Freedom '90 from Listen Without Prejudice...

    I recently didn't bother bidding on a 'Father Figure' CD Single on ebay because I was sure the instrumental version would be on this deluxe....having included instrumental 'Faith' and 'Kissing a Fool' why not be consistent and include the Father Figure instrumental!

    The only reason to have 3 versions of Monkey is if the bonus tracks on this deluxe edition were going to round up ALL the extra CD single/12" tracks mixes - since that clearly hasn't been the approach then including the 'A Capella' version is bizzarre

    There were quite a few mixes of 'Faith' were there not? Possibly promo only but surely they should have been included

    The 7" version of I want your sex could have been included or all three parts together as per the UK CD single

    Overall it seems as if Sony have spent far too much time on tour passes and postcards etc for the super deluxe and have forgotten to pay attention to what matters - THE MUSIC!

    Another deluxe set, another missed opportunity.

    Disappointing, but at least I can save my money for something else (like the forthcoming GHendrix 4CDs set)

    I'm kind of slightly underwhelmed at what they put on disc two.

    Though I'm glad they included his live versions of "Love's In Need Of Love Today" and "I Believe When I Fall In Love", they should have also included:

    Father Figure (Instrumental)
    I Want Your Sex (Rhythm 1 Lust)
    I Want Your Sex (full 13:13 Monogamy Mix)

    Still wondering if that is the final tracklisting. The official website has pictures of the various editions but doesnt supply a track listing at all.

    I am a fan, I am however not certifiably insane so I'll just stick to the 2-CD+DVD edition.

    Why are there B-sides from the "Listen Without Prejudice" album on this set?

    I've been wondering for a long time when Fantasy was actually recorded. It appeared on many b-sides and compilations, but I still haven't been able to figure out it's birthdate.

    By the way, some more Monkey mixes do exist on CD ... there is a US promo with six different mixes!

    Actually it depends on your country, you can change it upper left. Choose USA and price is 'just' $141.47 + tax + shipping. So Germans get it 12Euro cheaper than Dutch...

    Grant Life is a rock, but the radio rolled me!

    I'm always wary of when a digital recording gets remastered.
     
  21. But when was it recorded? If it was recorded closer to these sessions, then it would have a more natural home here.

    Not sure when it was recorded but IMHO it is now irrelevant - if it had been available as a b-side during Faith I'm sure George would have used it instead of one of the many instrumental versions that were served up as b-sides.

    He has made the association with Listen Without Prejudice and I don't think it's appropriate to break it and suddenly try and link the track to Faith.

    My best guess would be that the track was recorded between albums and GM wanted a strong-ish self-penned track to strengthen CD2 of the Faith deluxe

    I heard on the radio earlier that this release has now been scrapped due to his incarceration.
