If Geffen, or who ever owns them now, were smart they would give this record the "deluxe" reissue treatment. i.e b-sides, demos, whatever... Minus of course tracks 13-89. It could do better now then it did when it first came out.
I will fully admit being disappointed in this record when it came out in part because of having to wait for so long and it not being quite what I expected. But listening to it today the record is standing the test of time better than some. Sure the songs aren't as strong as the debut and the guitar work has a harder bluesy edged. But seeing the number of new English bands trying their hands at a similiar sound and coming up empty, one could say the Stone Roses were visionaries on this one.
It also occured to me what a mental tour this could be
Paul Weller
The Stone Roses
Brian Jonestown Massacre
w/ DJ Bobby Gillespie
