This release, part of
LTM
's 2008 series of
23 Skidoo
reissues --
Seven Songs
and
Urban Gamelan
being the others, while
The Culling Is Coming
had seen new daylight five years prior through
offshoot
Boutique
-- is not a straight re-pressing of the original 1987 title. It's a remastered two-disc set, with the first containing most of the 1987
Bleeding Chin
compilation with several additional cuts and the second disc a straight reissue of
Just Like Everybody, Part 2
(a collection of studio recordings that had, until 2002, remained in the vault). Those who bought the
Ronin
versions of
,
, and
The Gospel Comes to New Guinea
will be a bit miffed since they are lacking a handful of tracks spread across this and the other
discs, such as the excellent 12" version of
"Last Words"
(not found on any other CD) and
"Another Baby's Face"
(the B-side of the
"Ethics"
single, the band's debut), both of which are here. ~ Andy Kellman
