They have a cheek to ask £39.99 for this rubbish.

What a shame! They could have add a lot more singles and twelve inch mixes on this anniversary set instead of choosing acoustic versions on that second CD. I'll keep my excellent 2000 album (2-CD) remasters with excellent bonus stuff on them.

Not that big a disaster like Michael Jackson's 25th anniversary of Bad. That one has NO single or twelve inch mixes. Instead you get some extras like clueless idiot DJ remixes which had nothing to to with 1987/88. 80's fans are not waiting for this! They want the ORIGINAL bonuses. Why can't record companies do these things right ?!

What's the betting there will be no Mike Lindup present on these acoustic versions either.This is as bad as that forthcoming INXS Kick box set if not worse.

These are two different releases, thus should have been two different entries.

The Acoustic Album HAS Mike Lindup...the RITF deluxe should have Mike Lindup as he is back with the band, touring, etc.

Lol of course Mike Lindup is back. He's been back for some years. Saw him in 2010/2011 and again hopefully in October 2012. Amazing group live. Bout time that they followed up 'Retroglide' i think it was called from 2006?

Is Mike Lindup still part of that religious nutjobs thing The Forum or whatever it was called?

For anybody buying that deluxe edition for the acoustic stuff then listen to this it's absolutely dreadful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK2q8yQj ... e=youtu.be
