The final 7" I bought from The Music's first album (and maybe the final 7" they released from it? There weren't that many more songs on it that weren't already singles!) was The Truth is No Words. It’s arguably a better song than Getaway, but lacks vocally - we know the guy can sing, so why he doesn't try on the verses here is beyond me. The b-side, What's It For is another simple acoustic song that would have sounded thoroughly out of place on the album. It's fine, but I certainly wouldn't consider it a vital part of their back-catalogue.
As a final note, I do enjoy the consistent art style they went for over the first EPs, singles and album - it's simple but it works. Whilst picture discs sound shit because the vinyl is so thin, this artwork was surely always begging to be on a picture disc like these ones.
