Yes I agree not bad at all.

We should be really optimistic for the next BA 'proper' release,  
because Harvester has better production, sound quality and a  
consistent line up. I can only imagine if someone at EMI had insisted  
that Altitude was re-recorded in a similar manner, it would rank  
right up there with their best output!
