I don’t know what prompted that suggestion but I can’t imagine getting it unless it is on offer really cheap. I enjoy their albums but I don’t feel the need to go in depth on their work.
You make a fair point about Barney’s voice, though for me it was endearingly weak in the early years I can understand some people wouldn’t be keen. It will have been around 85/86 I believe, upon the advice of John Robie, Barney started taking singing lessons! Loved hearing your take on the ISC/Germanic vocal growl again! 😄
To be fair I think it’s I’ve footage I’ve seen clips of where his voice was rest out of tune that I struggled with but the singing lessons certainly make sense. I deliberately did the growl again to entertain you 😂
To be more specific, I’d recommend the new 4-CD reissue of Substance. The original release had re-recordings of Temptation and Confusion, whereas the new edition adds in the original ‘82 and ‘83 versions
