I'm left wondering, why??

Review Score: (6/10)
okay, here's the deal.

1) a CD can hold 70+ minutes of material. the original "Black Market Clash" was issued on 10" vinyl, containing 9 songs/remixes, and clocked in at a little over half an hour.

2) "Super Black Market Clash" contains 21 songs/remixes, with 77+ minutes, BUT LEAVES OUT MATERIAL FROM THE ORIGINAL RELEASE.

now, the additions are welcome, don't get me wrong. but WHY leave out material from the ORIGINAL "Black Market" when releasing the expanded CD version? Specifically "Cheat" (admittedly available on the rereleased green [or blue] album, "The Clash"), and "Armagideon Time" (which originally preceded "Justice Tonight/Kick it Over")? I don't get it. Luckily I still have a working turntable. buy this one if you don't have the original, or if you don't own one of the many fabulous versions of "This is Radio Clash" once available on vinyl.
