This is the bonus disc from the expanded version of the album-that's why it doesn't sound like the album.
The Housemarts were very good. Too bad their best album and most cynical The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death and the beautiful Caravan of Love aren't available.
This is the second disk of the deluxe set, consisting largely of BBC recordings. If you already have the regular album, buy this. Else I recommend the deluxe set.
I think this is just bbc radio sessions, b-sides and such from the same time as the first album. Sort of what that compilation Now That's What I Call Quite Good was... in fact it might be that renamed (I think the NOW! folks sued them).
In addition to not having the songs from the original album in the original order (there are many bonus tracks), none of the songs sound the same. Given that the band never re-assembled they can't be "re-recordings" like all those notorious "Orchard" releases in the early days of eMusic, but the mixes are totally different and at least one song "We're Not Deep" has different and added lyrics. What's up with this?
