Back catalogue almost complete August 10, 2008
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
Excellent complement for the recently remastered versions of Killing Joke's Night Time, Brighter...1000 Suns and Outside the Gate albums, as this release contains many tracks sorely missing from them and which have until now been unavailable elsewhere on CD. Probably for dedicated Joke fans only, this compilation makes up for the rather hit-or-miss offerings previously available (such as the Wilful Days CD).
We Joke fans continue to be seriously catered for as of late, and I appreciate the cheapness of this CD bearing in mind we all thought it was only ever going to be 'download only' and I had therefore all ready bought it online. After all, music fans do enough double-dipping nowadays as it is (vinyl, CD, remastered CD....). As an expanded breakdown:
1. Eighties (Serious Dance Mix)
2. Blue Feather (Dub)
3. A New Day (Dub)
4. Love Like Blood (Extended 12" Mix)
5. Kings and Queens (Right Royal Mix)
6. Blue Feather (Extended Mix)
7. Eighties (Coming Mix)
8. Dance Day
9. Wardance (RAF Mix)
10.Sanity (Roman Mix)
11.Ecstasy (Extended Mix)
12.Adorations (Instrumental Mix)
13.Love Like Blood (the 86 remix)
14.Stay One Jump Ahead (Extended Mix)
15.America (Dub)
Just one point of note: the Eighties (Serious Dance Mix) is a shorter (6.02 mins) version and not the 6.32 one from the original 12" (let alone the excellent 8.00 version as found on the Wilful Days CD). Shame they couldn't have included the original version, or indeed Wardance (Naval Mix) and the Knaves Mix of Kings and Queens. I've still to hear this last one after 23 years! However these are minor quibbles for what really is a superb collection that gathers ;) together most of the previously unreleased (at least on CD) b-sides and remixes from the Joke's late 80s period.
Roll on a definitive round-up of the Pandemonium/Democracy era remixes. Double CD anyone?
(The booklet includes a short history of the band, some liner notes about the tracks on the CD and most poignantly dedicates the release to the terribly premature loss of Paul Raven, one of the two outstanding bassists for the band.)
