That being said, I think the only way to make this CD release a real event would be if they re-recorded every song, with the same musicians and producer, and also included the original album as well in a 2 CD set. If you think about it, Stevie's done this (re-recording old songs) already with the Soundstage Sessions CD. Oh, and they should re-shoot the front cover today in the same pose and (lack of) outfits! Even Michelangelo wouldn't have the stamina for that airbrushing job!

Agreed. The best thing they could've done, IMO, was to have had it released around the time of Enchanted. You've got Long Distance Winner on that box set and it's so wonderful, for the life of me I'll never get why they didn't release it off the back of that. Didn't they ever realise that fans would want to hear more? I certainly did. I had to wait years before I could download the album, and a further few before I could find (and afford) the LP on the internet.

I'm not sure about re-doing it, but if they spruced it up, added bonus material, and - here's the killer - played some of the stuff live, then I have no doubt it'd be popular, at least with us. It's a great album. It needs to be heard.
