I think the reason for the confusion on some of the customer reviews on this title stem from the fact that Cog Sinister released a bonus version of this disc for the first couple thousand discs: The version I have has TWO DISCS -- one disc w/ the 7 tracks & 2 hidden tracks, then a BONUS DISC with 4 live tracks running about 20 minutes or so. From what I can surmise the live recording is from 1982 & features 4 songs from the Room to Live album. So, if you want the 2-disc version, you've gotta get the limited, out of print double disc set (the first 2000 made of this disc). Hope this helps.

Some of the material is sparse and lacking in form or hook. And this was only an EP! The better tracks here are on the "Hip Priest and Kamerads" CD version, so I recommend that instead.

At long last, The fall's Early 80's recording reissued on Cog-Sinister! And unlike some of these reissues this one has excellent sound, packaging, etc. Although this looks like a 7-song E.P., the songs are long and there are two unlisted bonus tracks! (The single "Lie-Dream/Fantastic Life") These are all studio recordings, although I notice the entry lists it as a 'live' album. It aint. But it's gear all the same...One of their better L.P.'s!
