He's selling millions of albums! Then they went into their vaults and put out tracks like "Who is the leader of the people?" which was missing half of the lyric because (I presume) they silenced Stoney's vocal because they wanted the attention to be on Meat. The first reissue with the nine tracks is more focused on Meat. There are more Meat solos. Stoney's solo is missing altogether. They put out a song with half the lyrics missing. Which is appalling. But the other reissue was somewhat better, if only because the two singles hadn't even been included with the first one (!) That's right. The two singles weren't on there. | |
