There is also a two-CD deluxe edition which pairs the remastered album on CD with the bonus disc of demos/B-sides. That equates to around £38 although the UK/US prices may drop.

This Core anniversary set is ‘limited’ to 15,000 copies and is packaged as a 12″ x 12″ hardcover book, with the usual rare and unseen photos.Īt around the £50 mark at the time of writing, this package seems like decent value, although many will resent the inclusion of the vinyl, which obviously bumps up the cost of purchase.
