I didn't know "Electric Arguments" got the deluxe remastered treatment either, until I saw that vid. The guy in the vid said they wouldn't make that fine heavy metal box for one today; that was a one shot deal. I always wondered if Macca titled his album "Electric Arguments" inspired by some spirited debates (fighting, actually, sometimes) going on, on the message boards at that time. I must admit to being. during that period, like a rabid pitbull at times insisting on no over the top criticism of Macca and his work-- I was one of the ringleaders in the fighting. I remember a poster asserting, "these message board forums aren't for Macca, they're for the fans." I sort of regret being like that, back then. So dogmatic and overly protective. Some of my fervor, my passion resulted from pent up frustrations; I'd wanted to participate at Paul's website for a long time, but was dissuaded by Heather M. being part of it then. I don't know why I felt so put off by that. Almost as if afraid of her, LOL. I got weirded out some by EA. I wasn't familiar with his "Fireman" experimental ambient music persona or the other Fireman albums. That odd reaction was a good thing, as it meant being exposed to something different and new, learning about (to me) a new kind of music. Electronica, sort of, I guess you could call it. I still don't completely understand it, but that's a positive, having always sought out and needed variety and novelty. I never could have participated in all night "rave" parties set to endless electronica while waving glow sticks, though; I'd have fallen out from exhaustion (laughs) after awhile. I think it would have gotten on my nerves. Especially if fueled by "molly" and "ecstasy" and the like, which have killed some people. Went off on another digressive diatribe. Sorry.
This one didn't get the "deluxe" treatment i.e. and archive release. This was the deluxe version released at the time. The stems disc was a nice touch.
