Forgive me if I am mistaken but I believe that the "Frankenstein" creations on the Anthology at least used all unreleased sources, you weren't getting a partially "new" song that featured bits of a song you already had. To me that is slightly better than what they did to "Dizzy" and "Mixed Up." Slightly.

It would make sense if these tracks were incomplete, but why would they be - were they recording on cassettes with 1m 30s on each side?

I've never forgotten it, being the Leisure lover that I am.
Well, you know, you've grown up and I obviously haven't.

I wish the rain would just leave me alone.

What happened with "Sing (To Me)" intro? Sounds edited compared with the Fan Club CD version. :(

Yeah, it sounds like part of it was cut off or something, pretty wonky job with that one.

The SSH demo....wow. When I read that this was 11 minutes, I never expected the chorus repeated all that time! You reeeeeeally have to love Blur to listen to this again. I would like it more if it sounded like Damon, but it doesn't. I think it tops A Spell For Money as the worst Blur song to be released.

I think they are the ones that were "so high".

Sing To Me sounds more noisy because of the remaster. I deal with that a lot.
