I'd love for KW's back catalog -- from the original eponymous album

to get a nice respectful reissue, bonus tracks or not. As I've said

(loudly), Cleopatra's half-assed attempts didn't exactly turn my crank.
To which I respond -- right fucking on. That label has to be one of the
most worthless labels out there. Sometimes I wonder if "mercilessly
shameful repackaging of songs you already have" is in their corporate
declarations. I don't think I know of a re-release (or original release,
for that matter) that has been worth a toss on Cleopatra.
BTW, in the new issue of Select, they mention the reissue of "The Man
Machine," with several new tracks in German. They give it five out of
five, of course.
