I got a promo of 7 Year Itch and was so appalled by the flat singing I didn't buy the album. Only Banshees album I haven't paid for. She's badly out of tune on several studio tracks, but that's sometimes part of the appeal. 7 Year Itch just sounded like she couldn't hear anything through monitors; she's consistently a quarter-tone flat, rather than bellowing all over the place.

Does she sing in tune on the live Mantaray stuff? I have that 7 year itch dvd & it's un-fucking-listenable. Utterly, utterly disappointing. Luckily I couldn't tell she was ridiculously out of tune when I saw them on that tour in Sheffield. 'twas an awesome gig...

got mine this week too - I think its pretty decent value on Amazon already. Particularly enjoyed the DVD - comparing the early footage to the latest Mantaray DVD I can safely say Siouxsie has aged a lot better over the last 30 years than me...

It's a fantastic package.

 

It renders "Voices On The Air" obsolete, however, as it includes all the Peel sessions. The quality is excellent, and the entire thing is only marred by the usual pretentious wankery of Paul Morley's "essay" (sic) in the booklet. The DVD is great too; I can now retire my DVD-from-TV of the Rock Goes To College.

 

Recommended, particularly when it comes down in price a bit.

"The scene was wild and somewhat sinister. The darkness, the palms, the mountainous background, the silent lake below, the impenetrable canopy of space, studded with secretive and significant stars, formed a stupendous setting for the savage noise and blaze of the ceremony."
