This is the review of the remastered and expanded 2012 edition, released along with a double-CD version of "Victims of circumstance".I have a lot of memories of this album from when it came out. It was a very decent effort from an older band to compete with the new musical trends, represented at the time by the New Wave movement. The album relies heavily on synthesizers, as did "Turn of the tide", but as always with BJH has its own personality. I always thought it had more of an eery feeling than any other post-seventies releases (demonstrated best by "Waiting for the right time", which relies on lush synthesized layers to create as much a mood than a melody. BJH in the early eighties was a mature, solid group that could be relied upon if you were looking for a quality album rather than an ephemeral representation of the style of the moment.The packaging of this release is very faithful to the original. Same artwork, it even includes the lyrics which used to be printed in a circle on the vinyl protective sleeve (they are now fairly small to read in CD form, but nice touch). I wish they had gone all the way and show the original vinyl artwork on the CD itself, but they give us instead the same artwork as on the front cover, and it gives the CD a polished appearance. The little booklet includes original pictures, a new introduction to the album by Keith and Monica Domone, and the lyrics again, but this time nicely printed in a readable fashion. As CD's go, it is therefore an upscale edition.The sound quality is the best I have ever heard for this album. It has more bass than the previous CD edition. It also includes "Blow me down", the B-side of "Ring of Changes". I remember it was very hard to find even when it came out, as BJH was more an album band than a singles outfit. It is a pleasant song but probably the weakest of the album, and as an unusual joint effort of John Lees and Mel Pritchard a curiosity more than a revelation. Also included are an additional edit of the title song and "Waiting for the right time". I would have preferred the alternate versions to be featured on another CD (I often listen to albums in 'repeat' mode, and I don't really need to listen twice to these two songs). But I understand that wouldn't have been very practical for a couple of songs.All in all this release is a deserved homage to a very good effort from a band which managed to be relevant at every stage of their career.Highlights are "Fifties child", "Paraiso dos cavalos" and "Ring of changes", all three very strong titles in the whole BJH discography in my humble opinion.
