If you think this improves "Story Of Them"...nope, it's the same old thing If you think that you will find more stereo and less rechanneling here. . guess again. This has the same stereo cuts (Gloria/One Two Brown Eyes/Here Comes The Night/I Gave My Love A Diamond/Go On Home Baby/My Little BabyIf You And I Could Be As Two/I'm Gonna Dress In Black/One More Time/Hald As Much and the alternate of Richard Cory). It also has tons of grungy rechanneled cuts (Little Girl/Mystic Eyes/Don't Look Back/I Like It Like That and Route 66 with the same crappy rechanneled sound and the non-original percussion added over the bassier track, as well as Something You Got, Turn On Your Love Light, Times Getting Toucher Than Tough, Stormy Monday, Friday's Child, My Lonely Sad Eyes, I Can Only Give You Everything, and Could You Would You, which are lousy sounding tracks from the US distorted fake stereo "Then Again" and from the rare Dutch demo EP. ) In my opinion, this is a total waste of your money. . . unless you never bought the "Story Of Them" 2-CD set. . . which is basically the same thing! I can't believe that the folks at Decca/Universal believe that these are the best sounding Them tapes possible. Did they erase the mono tapes of the above rechanneled ones? God, I hope not. .
