“When you go in peace,when you move in peace,exist in peace,the mind is still,the soul serene and the heart is tranquil; and you move in harmony with the rhythm of the spheres,partake of the sense of oneness of all that is,and realise the connection between yourself and the divine" Pythagoras

Nice one John :) I've never ever come across that famous sandpaper sleeve on the vinyl edition...What's the sound like on the cd? Is it remastered? The alternative cover is one of my all time favourite sleeves....Also I love the weird rhythm sound Hannett gets on the second track :)

Not the remastered cd,alright sound nothing special.I wouldn't mind owning the sandpaper vinyl edition,selling for up to $400 on discogs.I spotted one on ebay for €120 so a nice collector
item,i remember reading somewhere years ago that the album cover wrecked every album that
came near it because it was that rough and the cover cost more than the album was selling for in the shops.Also there was a rumour that Ian Curtis helped assemble the covers in factory headquarters for extra money.
Martin Hannett was a great producer,a pity he got caught up in that lifestyle,but he paid for
it in the end and died at only .
42.Sad that....His production credits throw up a few surprises

It's ok John but not earth shattering. The flat murky production lets it down. There's a kind of Fairport vibe to it with a Richard Thompson sound alike doing the vocal chores. You can also hear bits of Paul Rodgers too. At least the guitars sound distorted which is a good thing :)



The Highwayman - yes that one!
