Great music, terrible avarice

"Well, what can be said about this CD? That it's brilliant, turn of the 60s/70s pop/rock that was years ahead of its time? That the music here has arguably only ever been equalled by its two predecessors? That following this album's original release the band split up, seemingly beacsue they had nowhere left to go? Well you can say that and lots more, BUT I'm gonna say that this is the third time in less than 10 years that this exact same CD has been repackaged, renamed and re-released as though it's something completely different. And all the songs were also included in the "Chemistry" box set, another greed-fuelled CD set. If you don't already own this in one of its various earlier incarnations, I'd suggest buying it immediately, as this time we lose the bonus tracks and the totally similar "remixed" versions, but get a nice booklet, and a "digitally remastered" take that isn't entirely dissimilar to what has gone before. Here's to the next repackaged version of this album in 2 years' time......"
