One thing about the remixes of old Saxon albums (and other as well). I don´t think it is a good idea, especially not adding a couple of bonustracks as a bait for listeners to buy an album they´ve already got. Usually these tracks are quite bad, and on top of that they completely spoil the feel you had for the first issue of the album. Yes, you don´t have to listen to the bonus tracks, but it generates a kind of cheap impact. Also - the remixes usually tend to sound worse than the original. Yes, everything is cleaner, but the original feeling has been destroyed. For Gods sake, an album is a specific time document of how the artist was sounding at a specific point in their career, don´t waste that!
 

You must tell bands like Maiden that, because they only bring out re-mastered version nowadays.But that is the way for maiden to get the easy money in !!!!

But for Saxon I like that they finally put some of the single tracks on cd, just to have it.
That's what i enjoy of it.
