He's had his catalog > reissued how many times in the past 15 years? What about "Taking Liberties", though? The only CD I've found listed is a 1990 one that can only be had used. I'd like to replace my tape, but with a 1990 date on a CD, again, "fear of brightness". Are there other CD versions of this album, and if so, who released them? I'd like it in one piece as well but Taking Liberties was an odds n sods compilation in the first place, and nearly all those tracks have been recombined with the "expanded editions" of the proper albums of their timeframe. I feel the same about early Clash. In a similar vein, it's funny seeing the Jesus of Cool reissue and recalling how dramatically the UK and US versions could differ back in the day (in this case down to the title, for fear of offending the religion-sensitive Yanks). **************It's Tax Time!

There was one called TEN BLOODY MARYS AND TEN HOW'S YOUR FATHERS which was almost the same record as TL. I used to have it on CD about 15 years ago, but I don't anymore, because all that stuff pretty much surfaced elsewhere in reissues. It was on Demon Records and it wasn't bright. I asked it to reduce fractions, and it couldn't do it. It just sat there. - --Mark **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.

Buy the reissues for the bonus tracks. Irrelevant Nick Lowe-related anecdote: The U.S. release of "Pure Pop" was accompanied by a pink lapel pin that said "It's OK to Like Nick Lowe." I wore it proudly everywhere I went. Even when Philadelphia mayoral candidate Bill Greene was canvassing commuters on the El. I was going to vote for him and I went to shake his hand. He glanced at the button and went: "Oh--!" Like it was a button for a rival candidate. OK, I didn't say it was a GREAT story...
