China Crisis – What Price Paradise

Great record, and a sonic delight. Nothing wrong with this pressing at all. Sounds rich, detailed and the wax is quiet.

For me the version 2-5 sounds like a lightly remixed version of 1-7. Particularly on the drums. They are not identical

What does the Andy Partridge version sound like? I can't find it on discogs.

What a magnificent remaster this is, and a triple c.d. as well. Crystal clear sound and I could pick out certain instrumentation that I didn’t hear on the original C.D. release all those years ago. Excellent bonus tracks on disc 2 and a fantastic third disc of them live in concert. I have all 3 of the other China Crisis remasters and although they are all excellent sound wise, this C.D. release surpasses them all, even with the couple of minor errors as reviewed by the 2 previous reviewers. Can’t wait for the same treatment of Diary Of a Hollow Horse. Highly recommend this triple disc.

Arizona Sky Full Legth Vesion 12" is also missing with remixing with more presence of percussion and synthesizer.
As you say, there is plenty of time to open it, also included on CD 2.

The version of BEST KEPT SECRET is the same as the one on the Album, it is not the Andy Partridge version.
"The record label should facilitate the download of this Remix for those of us who have bought the CD's".
On the other hand if there is another version that has not been added to the list, THE INSTIGATOR there is another version with extra guitar edited in 7 "single and the 12" is the one that has been included.

Heard a rumor that a triple cd deluxe edition of this is coming out. Anyone know when that will happen if it is indeed true? Would love that.

Arizona Sky, Safe as houses , best kept secret, probably highlights the Album other tracks are okay. Not their best Album.

Anyone notice the truncated fade-out of the last song, Trading In Gold?

It's high time Virgin pull their thumbs out and remaster all the China Crisis albums. Bonus tracks too please! And for God's sake's don't let Rhino or Cherry Red anywhere near them! If Virgin can't be bothered maybe give Edsel a crack at 'em. They did a reasonably fine job with the Blancmange & Thompson Twins

This is a later reissue, not the 1986 version, and yet it comes up near the top of the list, before the original.
