Music reviews of Bona Drag: 20th Anniversary Edition
Music Review: Additional tracks worth the purchase...
Rating: 5 Stars
With read reviews rating this release, I must agree with the other reviewer's views on their negative criticism however am fully drawn on the fact of the additional bonus tracks worth a release, finally. All the negative feedback from those reviews are not what I am interested in but the anticipation of a few bonus material tracks that finally see the light of day, and are worth the weight alone. I do have to say, what happened to Strip Tease With A Difference? At least this part was a complete disappointment for me. For this alone is the reason why I shy away from giving this remastered Bona Drag a 5 stars, and in only consideration of the release of the bonus material rather than all other facets considered by others.
1. Please Help the Cause Against Loneliness - an excellent Motown catchy guitar strung tune...
2. Lifeguard On Duty - a soft subtle tune with a nice chorus - very Smiths' like...
3. Happy Lovers At Last United - would have still been a great b-side to the same sessions of Everyday Is Like Sunday, even scored with strings.
4. Oh Phony - crisp, clear playing from co-writer Kevin Armstrong and a great tune entirely. Should have still been properly released as b-side, at least to Strip Tease With A Difference had it ever been considered as another single after prior to scratching the actual Bona Drag studio album. There is a better roaming internet copy of the song with complete drums and bass, and it too is of high quality sound...worth looking into as the official release copy on this cd seems incomplete, not intending to be an acoustic version of the song.
5. The Bed Took Fire - just prior to being remixed by Stephen Street and later being called At Amber for the Piccadilly Palare b-side however was recorded during the sessions and intended for the Interesting Drug single.
6. Let the Right One Slip In (long version) - makes no sense as to why this poor quality demo was even issued on this re-release of Bona Drag when it was not even recorded during this era but for the Your Arsenal era. This addition was completely unfounded...
With the flaws of the re-release, remastered Bona Drag, I am nonetheless truly excited to have most of these bonus songs in a official release. This should be reason alone if nothing else to consider purchasing it.
