"Why oh why does this not include "America" ? The Immediate reissue from a few years back had it,I have the cassette and was hoping to get the complete thing on CD.The 1973 vinyl reissue even had it.So what happened ?An important piece of music missing from the album it was intended to be heard on makes this yet another example of the criminal attitude running amo in the music industry.If that one song had been included this would be a five star disc and an essential part of any collection that even cares about rock music,prog rock in particular.A worthy investment would be the 5 cd set from Rhino called Supernatural Fairytales-The Progressive Years."
Stick with repertoire

"Yes in the UK there was no America on this album. The Castle release gives no real benefit at all. The masters are from the UK issue which was poorly mixed and produced. A shame that the USA tapes for this and the third Nice Cd werent used they are much clearer. The Castle reissue shows up some more tape faults on Karelia and is a little bass light. Stick with the Repertoire issues if you can find them. The Castle reissue of "Nice" even has an awful edit between Rondo and She Belongs to Me"
