This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours: 20 Year Collectors' Edition (Deluxe)

Product Information

What makes it more effective is that whilst Wire provides the lyrics, the song is sung by the very manly form of James Dean Bradfield. The contrast in the medium and the message suddenly becomes very clear. “Born a Girl” arrives as a crucial understanding of the Manic Street Preachers as a whole. The lyrical content was always provided by Wire and Richey Edwards and the vocal duties fell to Bradfield to communicate the ideas as a union. This had always been a successful mutual partnership. On “Born a Girl,” there is suddenly awareness to the listener that the Manics are individuals each contributing to the whole.

The long list of remixes wouldn't otherwise be too exciting but this particular era was actually pretty good with them, and among them is the title holder of the best Manics remix i.e. the David Holmes remix of "If You Tolerate This", which turns the song into a ten-minute instrumental, dreamy epic that retains the original version's wistfulness and melancholy but moves it into a more cinematic territory. The Stealth Sonic Orchesta remix of "The Everlasting" is another winner, as the Stealth Sonic Orchesta remixes tend to be in their synth-orchestral ear bliss. The Cornelius remix of "Tsunami", the Deadly Avenger remix of "The Everlasting" (the better out of the two they did, the other which is the only non-inclusion on this reissue) and the David Holmes mix of "You Stole the Sun From My Heart" are also of note, and there isn't a single bad rework amidst these which is a rarity for remix sets.
