Ex-squeeze me? What? Easter Eggs?

Just little musical things to listen for in each track.

well - there is a lucky bell in every track - but there is also the Rupert/Stephen lucky charm on one of the tracks (we used to hide this little easter egg on all our productions during the 80s...)

Is that the best hint we get??

Even on recordings by The Fixx?

indeed! just one instance on each album - I think we even carried on a bit into the 90s..... SWTx

Just listened to this. I'm going to join the chorus and say this is excellently done! Wonderful, immersive mix. Also great to hear this album again after all this time.

(note: I don't have an Atmos setup, so I didn't listen to the 3 tracks in Atmos. I'm guessing some people might be disappointed that there are only 3 tracks in Atmos.)

I’ve seen occasional comments that prove your guess correct. IMO, it would have been best to omit the Atmos tracks. One does not have to play them, but their presence detracts a bit from the main point of the release: an album re-envisioned, in stereo, 5.1, and graphically, by the original engineer.

If the incomplete nature of the bonus tracks are going to make some feel shorted, all the more reason to omit them.

This comes from someone who loves Bob Clearmountain’s work!

I’m guessing he was commissioned to do certain tracks for an unrelated project.

I'm thrilled to have the Atmos tracks! If not for this release, they would have languished on the streaming services forever (as Clearmountain's mix of "The Prisoner" currently does).

The liner notes indicate he asked Howard if he could remix some of his hits.

Could be he did it just for the love of it?

Sure can be!
