    I have this, but it's the 2-CD version, with CD2 being called "Irreverence". And it's definitely worth seeking out

    Here's one on Ebay:

    Sort of.

    It was that era though wasn't it? They always used Blue Nile albums for reviews, especially in TFR and HFR.

    Snap! I took delivery of this album today, though it's the 1987 release, not the Anniversary edition you have. I'm still expecting it to be pretty good though. And if it proves to be 'essential', I will seek out the Anniversary one.

    The 1987 version is perfectly good Steve. I wouldn't pay too much attention to my saying it sounded better - I wasn't listening attentively and could well have imagined it.

    The Anniversary edition does however come in fancy packaging; looking like a little book, and includes an extra track.

    original 1980s issue seems to have more dynamic range compared to the remaster, as is often the case:

    I doubt this would be noticeable as not much difference in this case.
