COMMENTS
The album opens with a re-working of a song that first appeared on Silence Is King, then called I Will Get Over and now re-named Rock In The Road. Beautiful People is a re-working of a Melanie classic, this time recorded as a duet with a singer named only as Meredith (from Pop In Wonderland). This works much better than the second duet, featuring Jonathan Edwards, with both singers seeming ill matched. Freedom Knows My Name is another re-recording, as is Ballerina.
The three bonus tracks on the 1995 issue are acoustic versions taken from the Silver Anniversary sessions.
