Rightly, today, it’s considered a stone-cold classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it followed in the December of the same year, the album, The Sound of McAlmont \u0026amp; Butler, was an immensely satisfying and beguiling mix of classic songwriting, immaculate production, and blending of rock and soul. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was also singled out by critics as one of the year’s very best. ‘The Guardian’ newspaper awarded it a maximum 5 stars while ’The Times’’s critic commented: “the monumental climax to the seven-minute-long 'You Do' provides a fitting end both to the album and to a relationship that shook so hard that perhaps it had to shatter.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this timely reissue, the original album has been newly mastered for enhanced audio quality. As well as the original album on Disc 1, the 2CD includes a second disc of demos and alternate mixes. Mastering from the original studio tapes was overseen by Bernard himself and undertaken by his long time studio partner, George Shilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2LP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003eYes (Full Version)\u003cbr\u003eWhat’s The Excuse This Time?\u003cbr\u003eThe Right Thing\u003cbr\u003eSide B\u003cbr\u003eAlthough\u003cbr\u003eDon’t Call It Soul\u003cbr\u003eDisappointment \/ Interval\u003cbr\u003eSide C\u003cbr\u003eThe Debitor\u003cbr\u003eHow About You?\u003cbr\u003eTonight\u003cbr\u003eSide D\u003cbr\u003eYou’ll Lose A Good Thing\u003cbr\u003eYou Do (Full Length)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD 1\u003cbr\u003e1 Yes [full version]\u003cbr\u003e2 What’s The Excuse This Time?\u003cbr\u003e3 The Right Thing\u003cbr\u003e4 Although\u003cbr\u003e5 Don’t Call It Soul\u003cbr\u003e6 Disappointment \/ Interval\u003cbr\u003e7 The Debitor\u003cbr\u003e8 How About You?\u003cbr\u003e9 Tonight\u003cbr\u003e10 You’ll Lose A Good Thing\u003cbr\u003e11 You Do [full length version]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD 2\u003cbr\u003e(Bonus Tracks)\u003cbr\u003e1 Yes [demo]\u003cbr\u003e2 Yes [four track demo]\u003cbr\u003e3 Yes [instrumental]\u003cbr\u003e4 You Do [demo]\u003cbr\u003e5 You Do [mix 1]\u003cbr\u003e6 Don’t Call It Soul [demo]\u003cbr\u003e7 Don’t Call It Soul [original single version]\u003cbr\u003e8 How About You?
