The inclusion of living too late and auto-tech pilot on the original cassette version certainly added to its quality.

There are some great songs on BS, it’s true (especially Gross Chapel), but there’s also some – for me – throwaway stuff like Shoulder Pads, TW Sez and imo B.Runner. Also the production really lets it down. And maybe I’m jaded from listening to all these bootlegs, but I could happily never hear Mr. Pharmacist again! Could have been so much better…

I am however at bit of loss to your antipathy to BS, surely R.O.D./Dktr Faustus/US 80s-90s/Riddler/Bournemouth Runner and the incredible Gross Chapel are mightier in every way than anything on levitate or re-mit?

Have to say that up until very recently, I concurred with everything here and really didn’t rate BS as an album. The remaster has changed all that. It’s like listening to a new album and, along with the non-album tracks, feels far more essential than it used to.
