Do they come in card sleeves or are they in jewel cases? They have a booklet with pictures, don't they? I've read that for some reason the re-issues come in those anoying, destructable cardboard record cover-like sleeves. Would like to know before I plunk down $50 plus bucks on them. May wait until the US re-issues come out. (Except for 'Crocodiles'). And hey-- is Rhino really in charge of the US Bunnymen remasters? Couldn't find any info on the site, though they had info on The new Cure box set, which comes out, supposedly the following month. Thanks to anyone that can help! - -Chris. _________________________________________________________________ Need a shot of Hank Williams or Patsy Cline?

Do they come in card sleeves or are > they > in jewel cases? They come in both, actually -- there is a cardboard oversleeve and a jewel case inside, with a little booklet to go with each. However, I'd buy them for the incredible sound quality, especially the earlier the original album. They look far cooler than the "regular" CDs in the sense that each of them has a picture silk- screened onto the CD itself rather than just text, an a picture behind the CD as part of the artwork. If you want a cool booklet, the _Crystal Days_ boxset is the way to go -- but it DOES have the four discs inside a sort of hardcover (paper board) book and not in individual jewel cases. If you could only buy one, I'd go with _Heaven Up Here_. ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2003 08:22:08 -0000 From: Stephen Cummings Subject: seven-seas-moderated RE: seven-seas Barrowland glasgow,28th November 2003 Same set list as Dublin I think, except they played all of I'll Fly Tonight - -----Original Message----- From: s.brown1 [mailto:s.brown1@ntlworld.com] Sent: 29 November 2003 08:27 To: seven-seas-digest@smoe.org Cc: s.brown1@ntlworld.com Subject: seven-seas Barrowland glasgow,28th November 2003 Hi I attended the Bunnymen's concert last night at Glasgow. The sound and lights were great On one song there was so much smoke that the Bunnymen started playing I'll fly tonight for a few lines until someone (Will I think) said "It was supposed to be Zimbo" Ian retorted I couldn't see. They played Intro (Gregorian chants I think thats what its called) Show of strength rescue silver seven seas rust crocodiles Bedbugs & ballyhoo Dancing horses Back of Love Killing moon the cutter I'll fly tonight (stopped after 2 lines or so) Zimbo Over the Wall Do it Clean - -------------------------------------------- Nothing lasts forever (including Walk on the wild side) Lips Like sugar - --------------------------------------- Heads will Roll Ocean rain all in all a great show. The support band was Crimea.I've never heard of them before. They were ok - -nothing special. The merchandise was the same as in the photos put on by Charles (?)

Adam and Eve were from Norris Green, y'know." Ah yes, Mac the Mouth is back. Spouting controversies, absurdities and - - when he decides to stop blathering and actually start singing - songs of perverse beauty and power that were the hallmark of Bunnymen craftsmanship. It's 25 years since they first graced the Eric's stage, the reason for this home gig on their British anniversary mini tour. Only a handful at Saturday's sold-out Royal Court would have been there to see them falteringly perform on that November night back in '78. Indeed, a sizeable minority wouldn't even have been born. But no matter. Despite the trappings for nostalgia, this was definitely a night for the now and proof that, despite the absence of the dearly departed Pete De Freitas, and Les Pattinson, (retired wounded), Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant are still beating furiously at the heart of the Bunnymen. Augmented by an aggressive rearguard of Peter Wilkinson (bass), Paul Fleming (keyboards), Simon Finley (drums) and Gordy Goudie on rhythm guitar, their declaration of intent began with the brooding rumble of Show of Strength followed by Rescue, Silver, Seven Seas and The Killing Moon. Too many forget what joyous masterpieces these are, peppered with Sergeant's glistening guitar and McCulloch's surreal rhyming lyrics that would give a Hilaire Belloc or Lewis Carroll a run for their money. Everyone knew the songs by heart and, when Macca's ciggiewracked voice failed to reach the higher notes, the crowd were there to bail him out. What really blew the joint, however, was The Back Of Love and, especially, The Cutter, which went off like a hand grenade. Fired by Sergeant, ratcheting and riveting away in all his psych-edelic glory and Macca howling defiantly through the dry ice fog, it was seized upon by a gleeful audience transported to a separate universe of euphoria. Fantastic! After that, however, the band failed to maintain the momentum with Macca seemingly intent on breaking the spell he'd cast by laughing and mumbling imponderables as the band climaxed with a clumsy Do It Clean. Him and his big gob again. But by then, we had seen what we had come for - and for what we had received, we were truly grateful. ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-moderated-digest V2 #296 ******************************************
