nice packing! nice dvd, BUT!!!! sorry but the remasters really sucks!!!!! keep your vinyls or the 90s remasters! this 2010 is another example of loudness war...
You know, it's funny, I remember your reaction to "Notorious" being a lot less positive when it came out in 1986. I particularly remember you not liking "Hold Me" and mocking it...
Personally, I found that it is a weak album with many duds like "Winter Marches On" (and on and on and on...). And now that I've heard the original Andy Taylor version of "Matter Of Feeling", I have a hard time listening to the version on Notorious. But I'll probably get this anyhow.
I didn't care for Hold Me Or American Science at the time because those were the two track you gave me aside from Notorious when you made me a Greatest Hits cassette (You thought they would be singles) but once I heard the full album I loved it, Skin Trade Meet El, Vertigo, I love Matter Of Feeling and Proposition. The only song I don't like much is So Misled, I agree Winter is a weaker track, still one of their best albums IMO.
Notorious is a good album, the problem is that it isn't new wave or even synthpop, its really more funk pop.

Is Notoriousaurus Rex the longer version, with Proposition in it?

got this set too, I thought Notorious was right up there with Rio, but would have to say Big thing out did notorious overall.

I forgot about So Misled. Yeah, that was pretty weak too. I also wasn't crazy about Meet El until it was remixed for the single.

@gurudata also remember I bought the Master Mixes double rare vinyl, that should prove I liked the album.
