1991 - Fire - REFIRE 10 - LP/CD/MC Songs: (same as original) All songs written by Dan Treacy and published by Twist And Shout Music. Remastered by Phil Vinall and Barry Woodward at Townhouse. Sleve recreation by Hand And Eye. "The Painted Word", alongside Big Star's "Sisters Lovers" and any one of Nick Drake's LPs is one of the best emotionally introspective LPs I've ever heard. Dan Treacy's songs tear me apart. This is their finest moment. Both the humor and tragedy of the songs are beautiful. It deserves re-release. Well done Fire.
