Substance (Collectors Edition)

Hmm... does anybody know anything about this?

It's listed on Play.com and a few other online shops but I have seen no mention of it in the build up to the other re-issues.

I wonder whether it'll be a straight remaster of the existing cd version (mistakes and all), or a proper new version featuring all the tracks from the cassette release.

I for one can't wait to get 'State of the Nation' on three separate albums!

Hmm, what's the difference between the 2 versions of Hurt, part from length obviously. Is the Substance version an edit or something?

Yes, the Substance version of "Hurt" is an edited version.

might as well have a 4th disc and have the 2 Peel Sessions from the 80s on it, call it a special ediotion box set, jack the price up. hell, call it Recycle.

Only 3 versions of State of the Nations... that's not enough!

Please don't fuel their insanity, or they'll throw another shitty "bonus track" at us. I for one do not want or need any more "bonus tracks" or "State of the nations".

True, but it's not like record companies have taken notice of this website...
