COVER is getting a long overdue US CD release, and someone finally has had the good sense to restore "Lindi Lu" to the running order and round-up the various b-sides this time, too.
" "Cover" was originally released in 1984. This has only been available on CD as an expensive European import containing flaws and omissions. We fixed the flaw the European import had on "Five Miles Of You" so that it isn't cut off at the end and also added "Lindi-Lu", which was missing. Our CD features the original American track listing and sequence, and adds 2 bonus tracks, "Your Finest Hour" and "Five Miles Of You (extended version)."
(All of this material is available on CD already - between the import COVER CD and THE MILLER'S TALE - I wonder if that will be the source for these tracks, or if they've really gone back to the tapes...?)
COVER was one of the first Verlaine solo LPs I heard (maybe the very first) but hardly my favorite. In fact, it's probably been a decade since I've listened to the entire LP - this will be a great excuse to revisit it.
Only $9.99 right now on Amazon for pre-order...
