Do yourself a favour... don't buy it. It's basically a mix of tracks from various other boots, most of which are somewhat incomplete... they just fade in somewhere in the first minute of the song, and fade out somewhere in the second half (or in the case of Daffodil Lament, it fades in during the middle of the song)... Interestingly, though, the one song that is on fully is Desperate Andy, and I don't believe I have that version anywhere else... but whether or not it was worth $30 for one song... well...

I quite like the cover of BTH-CS, and like that it's done like a double-LP. I quite like the artwork for you and me as well, though it's easy to tell that it's a Europe only release (and more specifically german)... for one thing the font is inconsistent with the rest of BTH, and they spelled it "Women without pride" instead of "woman"... but I'm just nitpicky... Also found it interesting that the ICBWY live on the single says it's taken from BTH-CS, yet it (obviously) didn't make the final cut of the album. Finally, it also seemed the label was a bit ahead of itself, announcing the DVD to be released in June :) Anyway... this message is somewhat pointless, but if you've read this far, I guess it's your fault for not stopping earlier...
