Or you could just get the 'Melvinmania' compilation album for a fraction of the price.

No it doesn't just what Atlantic (UK) decided were the best songs from those three albums.

Cherry Red must've acquired the rights for those albums from Atlantic (UK).

With the bonus tracks its not a bad deal for those needing fresh CDs of the Atlantic albums

Do you guys in the states pay duties on UK imports? I do, and for that reason don't order anything from UK.

Bonus tracks cover all the Atlantic promo CDs that were sent to record stores back then, plus the 'Demon Night' track, 'Instant Larry' !
Pretty nice.
Melvinmania is just a "best of", although it does have the Atlantic era videos on the disc.

How did they even wind up doing one on the Demon knight soundtrack in the first place?

I don't even remember hearing it once in the movie, maybe that's why the movie sucked so much.

Instant Larry is the only good song on the whole soundtrack.

Fick Fader or

GTFO!

I assume it was Atlantic actually trying to market them a little.

Ha! Instant Larry is the best song on the soundtrack by far. But I do have a soft spot for that one where RZA does horrorcore.  And the old Pantera and Ministry tracks are classics. Who doesn't like that one filter song? You know, the one worth liking? And the Sepultura cover of that 80s band track is dope. Shit, is there even a clunker on there? I'd say the lows of a great soundtrack like The Crow or NBK are lower than anything on Demon Knight.

So anyway. These reissues are great. I'm glad they exist. I won't buy one, though. I still have my CDs and I like the labels the original way they were sequenced. I have 12 singles and Electroretard (twice) so I don't need duplicates of those four bonus tracks. I'm annoyed by having an edit on the album of the same song. I don't particularly care for demos and one-off live versions of album tracks.

It does make me wish that Rama Fa Fa and Instant Larry were on those respective albums, but I'm not going to retroactively shove them in there.

I'd have bought this in a heartbeat if it had Fick Fader or any of the other unused Stag experiments on it. Butchertown tracks would have been nice as well.

Where is the Stag-era unheard track that they discovered whilst doing the third man reissues that didn't even make it on the third man LP version of Stag?

They quickly walked it back. I think it's a known song under a working title.
