My favourite is As Live As It Gets from 2003, and it contains the best sounding versions of Speed of Light, When Two Worlds Collide, Virus, Tenth Dimension etc. Andy Sneap did a great job with the mix.

Blaze did Afraid to Shoot Strangers with Thomas Zwijsen. The live version, from Gothenburg 1995, was a part of the Best of the Beast double cd as well, so I don't think it's out of the question.

Jason Edwards and Blaze on stage in 2011.

All The X-Factor B-sides, except I Live My Way, are on Spotify (and other streaming services) thanks to a digital release of everything originally included in the old Eddie's Archive box. Only Doctor Doctor is getting many plays though (by the Spotify algorithm). 4.9 million views on youtube...

I agree. And let's say, if they continue after Blaze, with a completely new singer, perhaps someone who could do the Ed Hunter Tour classics well, and then release a decent album featuring Blood Brothers and some other good songs, there was surely some upside potential, remaining at CMC (and...
