Always dug Axe. For me it seemed that as the band progressed their appeal faded. I do really dig the debut. There's a ton of well written tracks & I love the keyboard/guitar interplay. I think Osborne's death devastated the band not only on a personal level, but musically as well. As for the redux recordings, I actually love them. Not sure sometimes about Bob Harris' approach to some of the tracks, but sonically it leaves the old recordings in the dust.
