Not for the pricetags I've seen it for. The quality isn't all that great either.

It's worth it if you get a copy sent to you from a lovely, squishy board member.

I quite like it, but wouldn't pay outrageous money.

Squishy?

It's definitely worth normal full price.
I can't believe the space in Bill Frisell's guitar work. It adds another dimension to Love Field and Poor Napoleon especially. Great examples of less is more when compared to the originals.

Squishy.....

I love it!! It's worth the price of admission for "Gigi" and "Upon A Veil..." and especially "Poor Napoleon". He even messes up the lyrics in PN!!

Then again, I'm weird and love everything!

I find myself returning often to this one. I'll agree with the wonderful Jilli- I LOVE Gigi and Poor Napoleon. Deep Dead Blue is not a fave of mine, but the rest of it more than makes up for it.

Plent of reasonably priced copies here, it is worth getting. The bootleg of their recent colloboration in Bochum is also worth having, it's even better.

yes!
and yes, I agree, "Love Field" is a great example of "Less is More"
PN is great also..and Deep Dead Blue.. it is all great .. but your friends will think you are weird
I am frustrated that I cannot find the German Festival boot - no shn, no groove here

Jillbeast, does your version include "Upon A Veil Of Midnight Blue"? That's one of my favourite '90s songs, but I didn't know it was on an official EC release. Is my copy with 7 songs some sort of short version?
