DEEP: The complete Cardiff show presented in extremely good
sound with upfront Bob vocals and a nice overall warmth to the
recording. Arguably the best of the 4 UK shows in October. The
cover graphics are well worth mentioning, mimicking the legendary
and colorful cut and paste motif of the Sex Pistols debut album of
the same name.
CDG: Recording quality is excellent, and the band sounds
very tight. This cd has almost all of the new and rare songs of
1997. The filler is very well chosen. Highly recommended.
rmd: On the earliest versions of this set, the filler tracks
are in relatively poor quality, perhaps because the set was
released very shortly after the show. The problem was corrected
after the initial batch of discs was pressed.
NOTE: The filler on these CDs is duplicated on the later Love Sick.
