Upset that I preordered from Amazon, but not getting it until next week, especially since I live a mile from a fulfillment center.

Very similar, with the exception that Christine's voice is featured prominently on FM's "Good Things". It's a haunting kind of echo like vocal. Whereas, if I remember correctly, it's not featured at all on Bob's solo "Don't Wait Too Long". I'd say it also has more of a FM rhythm section vibe to it as well, which is always a good thing. I didn't realize this song predated to an earlier FM version, but I recognized it as soon as I heard it.

Ordered mine from Amazon as well. Received a message that the set would be delivered mid-month, but was pleasantly surprised it was sent as originally stated. I'm super close to Amazon fulfillment centers as well, so I'm confused on why yours was delayed.

Haven't listened to everything yet (just MTM and Bare Trees so far), but what I've heard sounds amazingly clear and crisp. Bonus tracks at the end haven't disappointed either.

Christine’s vocal is featured on “Don’t Wait Too Long.” It’s one of the best parts of that song.

Oh, ok. Haven't listened to that album or song in ages. Never was a particular favorite of mine.

I hear ya. I personally like prefer the bulk of THREE HEARTS more than FRENCH KISS. But I haven't heard it in ages, either.

One thing I did notice about "Good Things" is how much of the instrumentation is a dry-run for some of the musical ideas in "Bad Loser." Mick's drumming, the guitar harmonics near the end...

Mine arrived this morning. I’ve only listened to “Good Things” and “Stone,” and that’s a great description of “Good Things.”

Now that I’ve heard it, I think Bob Weston may have been right. Great song, but the album needed another guitar heavy rocker.
