Geordie didn't play on them. Nothing that Geordie doesn't play on gets released!

The full version of the rare tracks has only ever been on the super delux package. And the ones dropped really are not worth even having! 


As for this RSD release. Yeah. Cd. Not cool. Nice vinyl, coloured, gatefold etc would be nice. The cd does have a poster of sorts in the form of a collage but it is rather limited size wise.
As for the tracks, well, they're doing a retrospective collection so they released this as a marketing/promotional device. Rather like any single is released for an album. And let's be honest, many KJ single releases have either had album tracks or shit remixes as B sides. They have never been ones for lots of new tracks as b sides really (I know I am stretching a point here but compare them to some like the Stranglers who pretty much always had an exclusive track on the flip side).


I don't think they got into the spirit quite right here. Unlike the fresh fever split 7" a couple of years ago. That was where it was right.

Both are available on previously released singles: "Penny Drops" on "In Cythera" and "New Uprising" on "Corporate Elect."

What would have been nice is to include one or two of the tracks that they have apparently now dropped from the rarities disc on the Singles set, like the new mix of "Intellect" or the extended track of Jaz and Geordie babbling incoherently for 12 minutes.
 
I was really looking forward to that one. Add some finger cymbals and they could release it as "Courtauld Talks II," along with some of Jaz's old ketchup packets from Wimpy's. Prolly get 500 bucks for it, at least.

What about those 2 unreleased tracks from 2012? Penny Drops and the other (better) one? That would have been great!

Sadly, our favourite band dropped a bollock with this one. The whole point of record store day is to get people
into their local independent record shops. Which is why 99% of bands doing releases for RSD make sure it is
something special - unreleased, long unavailable, new songs on a 7" etc etc. But not our boys, oh no.
Just a cd single with three songs previously available. Even if you don't have any unreleased tracks, at least
make an effort - coloured vinyl 12", stick in a poster of Colesy's art, then the completist in me would

have gone for it. As it was, it was a pathetic effort! Doh, etc.

Thing is, it actually COST £10 on the day!
