Comment This sounds markedly different to the UK version, and may well even be a different mix. Self Healer particularly is slightly quieter and much clearer (whether that's a good thing is of course subjective), the hissy treble sound of the original has been toned down, and the vocals are a lot more prominent throughout the CD. Add to that the fact that it includes all the harder-to-find tracks from that era, as well as lyrics for the first six songs that appear to have been written by Roddy himself, and different artwork (full version of the 'Satan Polaroid' 7" A-side label) and this is a very nice package indeed.
