"Gently remixed and remastered by Ono" says the
original review. I don't think 'gently' is the
appropriate word when different vocal takes
appear to have been used on some tracks and,
most obvious of all the changes, the spoken tag
to the last track, "Meat City" has been cut
off. In the original LP, as John produced and
released it, "Meat City" ends with him saying
"Who is that? Who is that? Who is that?
Who...is...that? And why are they
doing...those...strange......things?".
In the original cd release, this was cut off a
word or so early, but in this remixed version
the whole of the last question has been cut
off. Why? Do the people in charge of rereleases
at EMI simply not listen to the albums they're
dealing with? This is a truly great album, by a
truly great artist, in a rerelease controlled
by people who do not understand or respect his
work.
