Thanks to the previous UM reissue I'm all set for that. I'd really like to hear CoB punched up a bit though. Is there really a reason for those of us who were previously up-to-date on the Soft Boys reissues to buy it? I'm not complaining that there's a new reissue or thinking that YepRoc is trying to soak us old-timers again, not at all. It's a matter of in-print vs. out-of-print, and in-print is better for everyone.
