4.0 out of 5 stars Great to have it on CD at last but ..., 9 Feb 2005

By A Customer

... there are two problems. First, you'll notice that the running order is not that of the original LP. Secondly, these is a really off-putting flaw at the beginning of "I Can Make It If You Can".

Those issues aside, this is a very good album. Whilst it reveals the influence of such as Bruce Springsteen, the Rats showed that they were more than imitators, delivering their own back to grass roots approach, mostly through Saint Bob's lyrics. And in it's original order, I'd say that the second side of this is one of the best sides of music ever released.

4.0 out of 5 stars BOOMTOWN RATS 2005, 7 Feb 2005

By	G. V. Best "gvb" (birmingham, west mids United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

IINFLUENCES INCLUDED SPRINGSTEEN, THIN LIZZY AND VAN MORRISON.
THIS BECAME ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ALBUMS OF THE YEAR AND AN ALL TIME CLASSIC.
IT IS GOOD TO SEE 4 UNRELEASED DEMOS INCLUDED PLUS THE LIVE VERSION OF BAREFOOTIN' FROM THE LOOKIN' AFTER NUMBER ONE 12" SINGLE.
ALTHOUGH WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO BORN TO BURN THE 7" B SIDE?
WHY HAS THE B SIDE OF MARY OF THE FOURTH FORM - DO THE RAT - BEEN INCLUDED ON THE NEW VERSION OF TONIC FOR THE TROOPS?
AS USUAL A GREAT REISSUE IS LET DOWN BY IMPORTANT OMISSIONS.
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FIVE STAR ALBUM.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Disappoining Remix, 16 Feb 2009

By	Russell Field - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a remix of the original vinyl album & unfortunately it does not do it justice.
