 Twenty-five years??  Man, that’s disturbing.  If I’d purchased a twenty-fifth anniversary edition of a record, back when I first started getting into music, it would’ve been from the pre-rock era. 

So, theoretically, a budding young hipster of today might look at this iconic album the same way we looked at Nat King Cole, or Patti Page, or Rosemary Clooney.  I can’t imagine such a thing, but the numbers don’t lie.

Despite my hard-charging decrepitude, however, I’ll be picking up this CD, with enthusiasm.  The live recording sounds like an essential artifact, and I’m in urgent need of a remastered version of the main album.

Murmur, of course, is one of the great touchstones of alternative rock, and the soundtrack to an especially happy part of my life. I’m looking forward to enjoying it again, all fancied-up.

Now, will somebody please help me change my sack?
