uk double cdr in two pvc sleeves released by emi.

this digital edition of electronic’s first album contains the november 1993 remaster plus twelve single tracks: the essential b-sides lucky bag, free will, lean to the inside and second to none, plus idiot country two, the us mix of gangster, all three versions of disappointed, and remixes of lucky bag and feel every beat. presumably the inferior 7" mix of free will is included here to encourage sales of get the message, where it appears in its original form.

the concurrent reissuing of the factory singles as digital releases means that the vast majority of electronic’s output from 1989 to 1992 is now officially available online, yet the dub mixes of feel every beat and the original version of getting away with it remain lost to ancient vinyl and still make the case for a proper reissue on cd or sacd. until then this edition will be a convenient and inexpensive way to create an instant electronic collection; raise the pressure and twisted tenderness were also given ‘special edition’ digital releases.
