I know there’s love for the “longest ever gap between albums” Mancunians here and they’ve been touting the box set of their re-releases (worth it for a remastered “Nobody’s Perfect” alone, I hope) for a while now but it’s pricey.
There’s now a digital download version available for pre-order at £40. You still don’t get it immediately, but it seems it will be out by the end of June if I’m reading the small print properly.

Well about time but £40!! It was the first album I did a vinyl to digital copy of as wav files back in 1997 so I think I’ll stick with that until the price comes down.
It’s far than just the first album, of course, it’s pretty much everything they ever recorded, but I agree its still steep.
Far “more” than, of course. Doh
