One result is that the record is often better when Bobby Gillespie is a presiding spirit rather than an actual singer. The comedown blues of "Damaged" is Screamadelica’s weakest song, but Gillespie’s conviction makes it essential to the record.

The live disc finds a ramshackle group admirably committed to showing their audience a great time, twisting Screamadelica’s grooves into more band-friendly shapes in the process. This is probably one of the best vinyl versions of the album , but in my case (i don’t think this is bad at all) the version of “don’t fight feel it” in my copy is a bit faster than the original song. I can also say that a number of these versions were really good (Don't Fight It, Feel It EMI Publishing Studio Mix is a really funky take that I may like more than the original!Both the box set and the picture disc editions will be released on 17th September, with Demodelica following on 15th October.
