I find it quite exciting because some of the songs we just haven't done live. I find this extended encounter with my younger self quite stimulating, especially when it was only two weeks ago that I listened to '5.45' for the first time in 15 years. Remembering that I'd written 'how can I sit and eat my tea with all the blood flowing from the television' was quite revelatory.
More Quotes from Jon King:
There were layers of reasons why we did the re-recordings, but one was that we could hand over our tracks and let new acts we rated do something interesting with them.Jon King
Andy and I had a extreme view about what we wanted, ... We didn't want the music to be shrouded in mystery. We wanted every instrument to sound like itself, instead of double tracking guitars or harmonising the vocals. It was that pursuit of authenticity that Andy and I were looking for. So, apart from a bit of reverb we wouldn't use any tricks.

When we were younger we were all trying to score points. But as musicians all we wanted to do was to make something that sounded great, and we became obsessive about it.
