I love this album, but like that Jane's Addiction box, there's not much here that compels me to want to pay $20 for this "deluxe" edition.


Wasn't there supposed to be a new album coming out?

A lot of alternate versions of songs that are already on their one album... that I already have... gives me pause.

Just want to know if the alt. versions and unreleased songs are good enough to warrant the purchase.

Maybe I should have said that I am a huge fan of the La's album.

Get it for $20.

If you feel gypped, sell it for $20.

Hell, sell it for $15, and chalk it up to a $5 experiment or lesson or whatever.
