Newly remastered version with bonus disc of demos is coming in mid-November! I can't wait to hear that unearthly guitar shimmer in "Perfume Garden" in remastered form.

Mmmm. Thanks.

It'd be nice if they accompanied it with a few gigs.

Fantastic news! One of my all-time favourites and a CD I love just slightly more than Script of the Bridge.

Better chance of hitting the lottery. [:D] Mark has been playing Chameleons tunes with pick-up bands, and sometimes, he and John get together to do Chameleons tunes with John's current band Bushart.

If I'm informed correctly, the "demos" are this albums demos, which is the way the band wanted the album mixed, so I've read.

Can't wait - although to my ears, the "Script" reissue did nothing for me. Someone who is friends with Fielding says the demos are from an old tape of his; cleaned up of course! Sad there probably won't
be a Strange Times re-issue. Any wishvillers on here (besides Ed)?

I am up for a Strange Times reissue. Not sure if Blue Apple Music has/will acquire the rights to it though...will query them of course.

I'm listening to "Intrigue In Tangiers" now!

The remastering sounds good; overall it's a bit punchier, the bass and drums have more heft, with good dynamics. Comparable to the Script Of The Bridge remaster.

Packaging is in a "Super Jewel Box", which I've never seen before, it has rounded corners but nice looking.

Only complaint: no track annotations by Mark like the last release. Overall though, I'm pleased.
