Bit minimal actually: all the lyrics/track info and then a couple of
pages of somebody called Mick Farrar, and a page of picture sleeves.
Full review + indepth interview will be coming before too long. I'll let you know when they're posted/published.

You can find my review of the CBS recordings up at tangents magazine: http://www.tangents.co.uk/index-original.html
The review is entitled 'The Ones That Got Away' in the index.

Well, to review your review (!) I'd say its very good & I agree with you on most of it. Taken as a whole, Batteries is my favourite of these 3 albums too, but my opinion of the live stuff differs from yours in that I'd have to say I consider the live "Take Me Higher" to be vital.

Taste is a wonderful thing! I mean - seriously - our differing and various tastes.
I guess, off the record, I still love Signs of Change more than any other ATF recording.

Off the record? I hated it when I first heard it - I had all the other albums already and was expecting something a tad more poppy...but just as ATF split up it finally got through to my 4-minute-tune brain and it held on to the number one spot for quite a time. Favourite now? Difficult to say...
Taste is indeed a strange and wonderful thing. So, Marmite - discuss!

No, you don't discuss Marmite, you spread it on your toast!

Unless, of course, your tastes do not include Marmite!
