This new version adds a handful of demos, some for songs which wouldn't surface until 1979's ''Armed Forces'', but the real draw is the live disc, where much of ''My Aim Is True'' is given a raucous overhaul, Steve Nieve's organ especially effective in drawing out the material's hitherto hidden aggression. | This new version adds a handful of demos, some for songs which wouldn't surface until 1979's ''Armed Forces'', but the real draw is the live disc, where much of ''My Aim Is True'' is given a raucous overhaul, Steve Nieve's organ especially effective in drawing out the material's hitherto hidden aggression. | ||
