          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.

 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!
