Those early version of Exodus with the more live NPG tracks were HORRIBLE in my opinion! (songs like It Takes 3) My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

*shudder* 'It Takes 3' is the absolute worst - It's a funny idea though and went well with the time, but the song is just awful. 'Proud Mary' works OK, the other live tracks, not so much. The long version of 'Hallucination Rain' is stellar. | |

Not really, that's a normal sort of delay time between recording and release. Anything within 12 months of release would be considered fast really. | |
