IBTABA for me is, well, the ideal copy. The production seems more balanced - drums sound like drums, drum machines sound like drum machines :) . It might be because it was the first Wire album I bought but is not one I think would get much out of a remix/remaster - other than the piano on Its a Boy maybe...
I started with 1980s Wire, and so IBTABA was one of my early ones. I always felt it sounded a bit 'thin', but the drums are a big improvement over Bell, where the LOUD SNARE is so over the top. Incidentally, I think the chances of Wire re-recording anything from that era is nil. Like I said, this was just an 'if money were no object' mulling. I'd just love to hear Bell is a Cup with Rob on it. (Similarly, So And Slow It Grows is one of my favourite Wir/e tracks, and it'd be interesting to hear a rework of that live, with Rob.)
