 Sort of.

Pre-2005, the available CDs were

  • Tonic US and UK with B Sides
  • Surfacing US (Which was identical to UK)
  • Mondo US (Which isn't the same as UK; no Fall Down/Whithall 1212)
  • V Deep Rest of World (Which isn't the same as US)
  • Loudmouth/Great Songs of Indifference 

Personally I think they are all superior to the remasters.  When I became aware of the releases in 2005 I sold my US Surfacing on eBay for about £50, but after hearing the remaster bought it back for less than £10.  Person who sold it to me was amazed the value had dropped so much.

You can get a Best Of from USA and Japan,both were released about 1986.The Japan cd I believe is the best of that the Rats were going to release after the ITLG tour.It was advertised in the tour program but never released.
