The only thing that bothers me about the remasters is the missing keyboard
chord at the very end of the record. No complaints otherwise, percussion
sounds good.

The acoustic versions only prove that Paddy is one of pop music's most
valuable treasures. Even the overplayed When Love Breaks Down comes to life
again and practically sends me into spasms.

I would *LOVE* the Steve McQueen treatment done on Swoon and Protest Songs.
By Jove, I would literally pawn myself off to have that.
