Description

Perhaps even better than their first, Blurred Crusade captures what for many remains the classic early Church sound, blending both the various strains of '60s inspiration and postpunk drive detected from the start with an even more elegant melancholy. Musically, both Willson-Piper and Koppes are just fantastic, their combination of guitar playing running the range from sparkling post-Byrds chime to sharp power.

Why is this release not included as a release under the Blurred Crusade master? It needs to be moved.

There are three listed Australian reissues on CD with the white cover, this version is pressed by D.A.T.A. (1992-2004), another pressed by Disctronics B (1987-1995) and finally Regency (2003-present). None have remastering info (original mastering by Bob Ludwig), I wonder if they are all identical masters. I have this version, the Disctronics is earlier, the Regency is perhaps the newest. I wonder if there is a difference in quality.
