I'm sorry you find being given bonus tracks that you think have no place on an album so very aggravating; but that we're all so very different in our take on life is one of those great things about humanity. I do see bonus tracks as extra gifts, and knew the ones that upset you so much were to be part of the deal (and something which enhanced it even more for me) when I ordered it. But even if I hadn't, I'd have appreciated and been happy to receive the bonus.

For eg I loved having Dead Ringer as a bonus on BOOH; a song I loved added to so many others, together on one album I could play when I was driving

Reminds me of when my Christmas delivery from Waitrose was delivered, and on unpacking it I found an extra large bottle of whisky that I hadn't ordered had been included. When I phoned them they said I shouldn't worry, to just keep it. I don't even drink whisky, but it still put a smile on my face

Only if the original cover art counts as well

So, if you don't drink it do you still have the bottle (and contents!)? I'll happily give it a good foster home for you ...

I'd have put money on your being the first to make a generous offer of a home

However, my brother's arriving this weekend, it's his birthday .. so serendipitous all round

Diversity is the spice of life to be sure.

To me, including Dead Ringer on Bat out of Hell is a stone's throw away from Sony's incessant low-budget best-of compilations of Meat's first three albums. But each to their own.

EDIT: No wait, it's exactly the same. I see no difference at all.

**allrevvedup** · 02 Jun 2011, 14:35

i remember meat saying in an interview that he thought it was a crime that Dead ringer was put on Bat Out Of Hell for the 'revamped' edition.

All of this type of thing is done to make sure it sells, as was the case with the reissued Hits out of hell a couple of years back when it featured AFL and I'd lie for you

At the end of it all, there's the choice to buy it or not buy it because it's cheap and easy for a record company to bring out a compilation

Absolutely. Shows the general lack of respect that Sony has shown to Meat's material over the years.

Now that Meat is back with them worldwide, maybe just maybe that attitude will change?? (Hopefully Meat can look past his hatred of Midnite and BBIS in the interests of the material's greater good

).

Would be nice to know for those who would like to amend and/or cancel their orders if it's NOT the live version...

Adje · 02 Jun 2011, 21:16

I think it's wiser to wait. Amazon.co.uk will drop the price of 13,99 soon enough. Take the HC Deluxe 2cd version. It's only 10,-- UK Pounds at the moment. Unless you must have a print version, Amazon already has the lowest price. This version isn't too 'exclusive' so I can easily wait a month or two to get it under 10,-

Well I got mine this morning, love the packaging, the DVD's great and now watching my two yr old bounce around the living room dancing to Midnight live.

It's not the live version on the cd but I couldn't give a flying fig, shame it's the be all and end all for you two coz you're not giving a great 3 disc package a chance.

Oh and the print's cool as well, cheers Kev

I never said it was be-all, end-all for me. I said "For those who wish to amend/cancel their orders". I never said I was one of them. I have not cancelled my order despite the f-up by the record company.

I received mine this morning also and on the whole it is an excellent package, however it is a package I purchased specifically for the bonus content as I already have a copy of the original album (and much of the bonus content too I might add). I feel the issue here is not about Runnin' For The Red Light Live. I'm pretty sure that never existed in the first place. The issue is that Not A Dry Eye has been left off the live CD. Meat sang 10 songs at the Beacon Theater in 1995, nine of those appear on this live CD and only Not A Dry Eye is missing. Someone else's ~~~~ up has deprived all of us who purchased this package of that track. Many people on here may say it's not a big deal and we should be grateful for what we are given, but can anyone argue that they wouldn't enjoy it more with a live rendition of Dry Eye instead of a two studio versions of Red Light?

For those who don't know, this is the performance missing from the CD:

What landed on my doormat this morning is great, a nicely packaged selection that bundles together much of what we have individually anyway. Yes, it'd be nice to have everything from the Becaon show, but we haven't so I'm not going to lose too much sleep over it.

Thanks for all your effort at Townsend in helping to make this happen Kev!

Same here

And the bonuses I wanted are all there, so I'm very happy

Got my copy today, hearing Rubber, Lie & Amnesty live is great and the packaging as a whole is very good great job on it. As others have said a bit disappointing that Dry Eye isn't on there but it is overall a great collectors item to have.

lorenzoduke · 05 Jun 2011, 13:53

Is Nothing Sacred was released as a single between Neighbourhood and CHSIB. No reason not to have it on as a bonus.

The mistake of putting the studio version of Red Light on the live disc is pathetic though.
