Don't get too excited at the prospect of hearing "I Want Candy" (the song) in stereo, yes it is stereo and its a longer version, but it completely loses its punch and the extra bits of twiddle
just end up wrong-footing you.
A bunch of the songs on this LP were made primarily to show off production skills, so I've read, and there are also songs that just rehash an earlier hit. Its an OK compilation, though somewhat repetitive, and it doesn't have I Want Candy (in mono), so minus marks there.
For a better compilation of the Feldman Goldstein Gotteher sound, try "Smash Boom Bang", which includes I Want Candy (in mono), and a whole bunch of tracks by other bands *cough*.
I bought a version of this CD about 10 years ago from Amazon.com and got sent a CDr with a crummy scanned cover !
Hard to believe but it was actually a legit pressing, the whole thing was licenced for a 'CD on demand' style operation to 'make rare recordings available once more', (something like that). Amazon did not indicate that they would be sending a CDr, and it was full price too,
So if you are reading this text then just make a mental note so that you can ask the seller if the CD is a genuine original factory made one or if it is a CDr.
