Buying Viva Hate, should I get the special edition?

[FallOfFingolfin]

I'm set to buy both Meat is Murder and Viva Hate, but I"m not sure which version of VH to buy.

I've heard some good and some bad about the special edition remastering and bonus tracks. Should I go for the special edition or the regular one?

Thanks.

Failcover version has that great version of "I'd Love To" on it. That is all you need to know.

mmmm i'd love to *insert drooling homer here*

I'd Love To

I'd buy the original because I've heard the remastering is "naff".

edit: is that a different version of "I'd Love To"?

edit: It's the one from My Early Burglary Years. I didn't know that there were two. Thanks.

Not sure which you've linked but there are two versions. The remastering is kinda "ehh" but a lot of people here are purists when it comes to "omfg i have to buy this or mozzer will starve" so whatever. Download the extra tracks if you're cool with that imo.

I'd go for the regular one. It has the original artwork and the bonus tracks are not from the same era anyway.
