The sticker on the front of the package that the CD comes in calls this the "Sergeant Pepper of avant punk." I wouldn't go quite that far, but this is surely an overlooked masterpiece.I had put off buying the old cd version of this album because of warnings that alternate cuts had replaced those appearing on the original vinyl version. The first disk of this double cd reissue appears to be the same (or close) to the original album. The version of "Here Comes the Flood" presented here, much better than the version appearing on the Peter Gabriel cd, makes this worth purchasing. Several other cuts, most notable "You Burn Me Up I'm a Cigarette" and "Mary" are also top rate. Some of the songs don't work (for me at least) but I prefer a cd that takes chances, even if not everything succeeds, over one that plays it safe with the same old same old.I haven't yet listened to the second cd but it doesn't matter - disk 1 is sufficient for a 5 star rating.Buy and enjoy.
