Customer Review Disappointing pieces Obviously some smart people decided to earn some money by adding three "new" tracks (they are not new, it's clear that they are all recorded during LS sessions, and in my humble opinion, the are not as good as already released songs from those sessions) and try to earn some money anyway. The songs on this CD were obviously collecting the dust in the secret archives of Polydor, after they released "Laughing stock" and discovered that Mark Hollis and the crew can not be categorised as "pop music", and certainly not as high potential marketing product. Real fans (including myself) will probably buy it anyway, so at the end of the day we can say that this complete marketing swindle worked well(at least in my case), because "Missing Pieces" is not the real enrichment in my music collection. Four songs can be found on LS, and the missing pieces we can certainly affort to miss (it doesn't suprise me they were "undiscovered" for almost ten years), so this CD should be better called LS revisited. .
