Originally I had and still have the vinyl but I also already had the Death Valley 69 12 inch single with this cover art
and I had
Flower somewhere in my collection. So it’s kind of weird thinking of
Bad Moon Rising not ending with
Death Valley 69. Especially since it’s a sister track to
Expressway to Yr. Skull (also listed as s "Madonna, Sean and Me" and "The Crucifixion of Sean Penn") which concludes
Evol with a locked groove.
I actually make it a point to
not listen to the bonus tracks immediately although I agree Flower, Halloween / Satan is Boring are absolutely essential listening and afaik or remember Echo Canyon isn’t available anywhere else.
Also, I have the original
Sister on vinyl with the uncensored cover art.

Third by Soft Machine - I started reviewing them as part of my History of Prog Rock journal, did not like the first two but this one really clicked and changed my mind about them. Superb album.

It’s my favorite Soft Machine record as well.

163. The Smiths – Hatful of Hollow (1984)
Genres : Alternative rock, New Wave
Just like The Queen Is Dead, this album is filled with gems front to back, including (but not limited to) : How Soon Is Now?, William, It Was Really Nothing and Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now.

Imo
Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want isn’t only the greatest Smiths song but a serious contender for the greatest pop song ever written. I’ve kept it on repeat so much I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve listened to it more than any other person on earth.
