[kj] Re: Ruminations

[Stephen Robinson]

finally got the album today on Double Blue vinyl. I had a promo version
before

I couldn't hear any major differences, possibly a bit more keyboards in
there somewhere, but nothing massive. May just be due to Vinyl/CD
differences.

Still has "bad" production, which I really like.

I still think it's a good, nay great album

The Artwork is great, I notice the front and back covers do not feature the
words "Killing Joke", although it is down the spine. Layout is a bit
rubbish, but the orginal painting was/is great.

Personnaly I'd have prefered if they hadn't named this one either, keep it
nice and mysterious! KJ06!

And the quaility of the Vinyl is some of the worse I've heard in many a
year, really noisy eps Disk 2. Still sounds better than CD on my System.

And there's 3 track on side 1, 2 on all the others and it's the same track
sequence as the CD.
