Recently re-recorded by Tyla in the form of the MMX release, with a re-jigged the track listing omitting the likes of 'Medicine Man' and 'Debauchery' in favour of other songs from the era such as 'Heroine' (at least the fourth time he's recorded that) and 'Swingin' The Bottle'. A seemingly popular pastime these days (L.A. Guns were the first band I recall doing this with 'Re-Cocked And Loaded'; and it's gone beyond glam rock, as the Wonderstuff have also re-recorded 20th 'anniversary' editions of their first two albums).
To say the new version is a travesty would be a huge understatement. But given the scarcity of the original, supply and demand has spoken. Avoid it though and seek out the 1989 version ... the production is a little weedy in places and also makes the album sound very much of its time but for me that's no problem at all as they were happy times indeed!
