Didn't they only re-record the songs from "Breaking Things"? (And didn't they only do that because they lost the master tapes?) I think the re-recordings sound pretty much identical to the originals.

ALL tried and failed with ALL
Anti-Nowhere League just re-did We Are the League which may have been better than the others mentioned already, but still not very good.
Sham 69 did it recently too. There are some songs that may be better than the originals and others that failed miserably.
So, I guess I agree with those that already posted that usually it is not for the best.

Probably the only one I would listen to.
