Be careful about picking up "How Dare You" on CD - the U.S. issue has a
digital stutter on the song "Don't Hang Up" (for those familiar with the
song, it's during Godley's plaintive "surprise, surprise - there's a hell of
a well in your eyes"). I'd fork out the bucks for either the remastered
English or Japanese release, although I don't know if either are any more
glitch-free.
Also, beware of the remaster with bonus tracks version of "Bloody Tourists"
which has some serious pitch flaws in the tapes it was mastered from. It
audibly slows and speeds throughout - not pleasant at all. I don't know if
the Japanese issue is any better, but the English one is a disaster.
