As I posted before, I saw this one coming a mile away. They mistreated
Morrissey's "Viva Hate" is the same outrageous way. Is there some sort of
"stupid hat" you're required to wear when you put together these Centennial
Series CDs? This was a total NO-BRAINER, and, true to form, it was done by
someone with no brain. I'd love to know what KB thought of it when she saw
the track listing on HER album? "Some people think that knowledge is ho ho
ho."

No, they're closer to crazed zealots that deface masterpieces. I think it's
time to try Experiment IV on them. They obvious care not on whit about
music.

We'll see. "Viva Hate" didn't even come with the lyrics that accompanied
the original. Of course, they know that everyone bying the reissue already
has the original. Just another way to sell us the same songs over and over
and over again.
