Quite like the Melrose Years myself. They don't sound quite so sterile as the originals to me.

I recently saw The Melrose Years offered by a german electronic mail order for 39 Euros. I will look at home and give you the link.
Btw I rate the Melrose Years 5/5 - great reworks and good compagnions to the original releases.

I think yes, it is. I got a flyer of this mail-order on the Loreley concert.

It is a pitty that there are only 1000. I myself like that period the best!
Still I am listening a lot to this particular 3 albums with Paul into it.

This set rarely shows up on e bay...I've only seen two show in the last few years. I still prefer the originals but the best of the sets & most different has to be Optical Race .
