Porcupine Tree rarities

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello,
I have been completing my collection of Porcupine Tree
and I was wondering if any PT fans might be able to answer
a question for me?

I own the studio albums and live recordings of
Porcupine Tree and I was wondering if is there any reason to 
purchase Stars Die? 
It is from the Delirium years and it is a double CD that looks
well packaged as always. 

Perhaps it includes different versions of a song or 
it has songs only available on this particular Cd?

Thanks
MRock22

	Definitely worth getting - lot of unreleased tracks, remixes, single tracks etc. I reckon about half of the content doesn't replicate earlier albums. Check Wikipedia and Stars Die for all the information you need.
