Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Chris D. on February 16, 2006, 08:13:36 PM Steely Dan album Hell yeah. Television (better selection) Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Boxer Monkey on February 16, 2006, 09:04:20 PM Television (better selection) Somebody needs to put out an official document of early Television. "Double Exposure" and "Poor Circulation" are easy enough to find, tho. The "Marquee Moon" bonus tracks are a joke. The version of "See No Evil" where the only difference is Lloyd PRACTICING his guitar part is pathetic. Couldn't Rhino have at least splurged on licensing the Island demos? (At least they put out "Waldorf," anyway ...) I'd really like to see "#1 Record' and "Radio City" get reissued individually with bonus tracks. I think it does those two albums a disservice anyway to have them on a twofer.

The version of "See No Evil" where the only difference is Lloyd PRACTICING his guitar part is pathetic. Couldn't Rhino have at least splurged on licensing the Island demos? (At least they put out "Waldorf," anyway ...) Right, exactly. I didn't even know that "See No Evil" track was him practicing...no wonder it sounds like their arranging skills suddenly went out the window. Also, not labeling "O Mi Amore" correctly...and you know, adding a live version??? They should have added a second disc with the Island demos and the rest of the songs recorded for their first single. Also, the I Need a New Adventure bootleg has tons of great stuff they should have put on the Adventure reissue. Another one -- Elektra needs to put out companions to They Might Be Giants' Flood and Apollo 18 like they did with their first two albums. Excluding "Hell Hotel" from Then was kind of stupid too. Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Andreas on February 17, 2006, 12:06:17 AM Those Quadrophenia demos are sublime. I like Pete's demo of I've Had Enough more than the final version because of the funky bass line. But I wouldn't add them as bonus tracks. Why not release them on a separate CD?
Buffalo Springfield - Again. The mono mix of the album is essential, not to forget the long version of Bluebird (I know that it was vetoed for inlcusion on the box set...) Moby Grape. Another candidate for a mono and stereo treatment. The Kinks - Something Else. The current remaster is crap, this albums deserves a deluxe edition in the style of VGPS. Was "Sand In My Shoes" ever released officially? Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Chance on February 17, 2006, 01:50:04 AM Innervisions

Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Sir Rob on February 17, 2006, 05:52:36 AM Some weeks ago I saw an import version of Neil Diamond '12 Songs' in a local shop which included a couple of bonus tracks including the one with Brian Wilson on it. Now I've just seen what I presume to be the UK version and only the '12 songs' - so yeah?! ???
Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Mitchell on February 17, 2006, 07:47:24 AM weezer - Pinkerton needs to come out as a deluxe edition with the full album and released b-sides (including the Pink Triangle remake) as the first disc. The second disc needs to be all of the demos for the album recorded by Rivers on his 8-track, including all of the the scrapped Songs from the Black Hole songs, plus the unreleased 'b-sides' Getting Up and Leaving and I Swear It's True. Live tracks could also be included if there's space. THAT would be my ideal release, ever.

Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Jason on February 17, 2006, 08:19:06 AM There's that demo acetate from early 1967. I suppose that could be bonus material.

Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Jason on February 17, 2006, 11:57:17 AM Pink Floyd doesn't have much unreleased stuff to put out. They could barely fill a disc of unreleased stuff.
Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Sheriff John Stone on February 17, 2006, 01:03:37 PM Would the essence of "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" be ruined if they added "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" as bonus tracks?
Also, I know I'll get some flack from Doors' diehards, but on The Soft Parade album, I'd still like to see "Who Scared You" simply inserted right after "Easy Ride" and before "Wild Child". Don't even call it a bonus track, just put an asterisk stating that it was previously released as a B side. I think it fits perfectly...

Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Chris D. on February 17, 2006, 01:27:54 PM The Pixies need a decent rarities collection. I thought the singles disc was perfect. They got that right, but half the BBC stuff hasn't been released, and there are outtakes like "Surf Epic," "Brackish Boy," and several different versions of Trompe le Monde stuff which would be cool to hear.

Apparently Floyd think so. When the limited edition mono CD came out, they specifically stipulated that there be no bonus tracks or the deal was off. So then the A&B sides of the mono singles were compiled on a companion disc, and the label wanted to add the rare French EP mix of "Interstellar Overdrive" as a bonus track to that, but the band again said no.Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Sheriff John Stone on February 17, 2006, 07:58:43 PM Quote from: Sheriff John Stone Would the essence of "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" be ruined if they added "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" as bonus tracks?

Do you think "Piper" or any other Pink Floyd albums would benefit from bonus tracks. Or are they fine as is... Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Beckner on February 17, 2006, 10:44:15 PM I kinda want to hear more of the Nirvana "Nevermind" demos from the sesssions that included 'Pay to Play" (from DGC Rarities.) Reissue "Nevermind" as a Deluxe Edition with those demos and the correct B- sides that the Box set overlooked. I'm guessing this is the plan since the Box blatantly skipped over the correct "past masters."
And then there's Macca... his Collection series discs have great already released B sides and rarities. But dammit man, give us some unreleased gems! If there's anything he's hiding as good as "Mama's Little Girl" sitting in the MPL vaults, he needs to hook us up! Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: I. Spaceman on February 17, 2006, 10:57:54 PM Well, you've heard Cold Cuts right, Beckner? Most of Paul's great solo work is unreleased.
When you hear the Nevermind demos, you'll find out that Butch Vig was the genius behind that record. Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Beckner on February 17, 2006, 11:04:27 PM I know of Cold Cuts, just haven't heard it.
As for "Nevermind" I agree with Kurt that it sounds like a Def Leppard record and that it sounds like a "candy coated razorblade" (or whatever the actual Cobain quote is.) I definitely prefer the rougher sounding Albini production on "In Utero" and hell, the lack of production on "Bleach" over "Nm." We've talked about it before but have you seen the "Nm" DVD that's out with Vig working the boards on "Drain You"? I agree. he totally made that album. Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: I. Spaceman on February 17, 2006, 11:06:28 PM Haven't see that DVD yet. I need to, though.
I gotta hook u up wit some unreleased Macca. Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Beckner on February 17, 2006, 11:08:04 PM yah man, IM me man.
Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: I. Spaceman on February 17, 2006, 11:09:33 PM At a mixing session right now, but tomorrow, definitely.
Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Music Machine on February 20, 2006, 12:07:26 PM Quadrophenia should be a 3 cd set, sides one, two and three on disc one, side four and demos on disc two and the last disc should be live versions of songs from the King Biscut Philidelphia '73 broadcast plus out-takes and alternate takes from the album sessions.
Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Boxer Monkey on February 20, 2006, 03:33:31 PM Hmm ... Butch Vig, the brains behind "Nevermind"? (As opposed to, say, I dunno ... *KURT COBAIN* or somebody ... ) Not sure I hear that, esp. since he had nothing to do with the "candy-coated" (or whatev) final mix that probably was the key element in putting the album over to a mass audience. Anyway, Nirvana sort of always sounded like Nirvana, no matter who was at the board. They had the same sound at the same time in the stuff Steve Fisk or Craig Montgomery produced. But "Nevermind" gets a completely unwarranted bad rap, imo, I guess owing mostly to the fact that it was -- duh -- THE POPULAR ONE. The production sheen doesn't bother me so much, but I do confess to preferring Vig's original mixes, some of which made it onto the "With the Lights Out" box. And f*** "In Utero" -- the second disc on the box is Nirvana's finest hour (and 10 minutes) ... That whole disc is a "Deluxe Edition Boner Disc" ...
Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: I. Spaceman on February 20, 2006, 03:36:39 PM *sigh*
I probably would like Nirvana if they had been a remotely good live act any of the 4 times I saw them. Title: Re: Albums that desparately need bonus tracks Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on February 20, 2006, 05:30:57 PM The Pet Sounds boxset is crying out for bonus tracks. Seriously.

In The Hour Of Not Quite Rain and the band version of Four Days Gone are far worse omissions. Quote CSNY's version of "Pushed it over the End" for years, but not this American.. That's a pretty easy find. The ultimate version is from Neil's famous Bottom Line acoustig gig in 74.

What about things like Vegetable Man and Apples and Oranges - I think you have to buy an entire box set to get those. There was also a track I heard on a Syd Barrett documentary that sounded great, I don't know what it was called but it went "Ice Cream - tastes good in the afternoon!"

I think the first 3 Barenaked Ladies studio albums and their first live album deserve deluxe editions. Despite their present-day unhipness, their early work (save for "Million Dollars") is excellent. I'd even love to see their early demo tapes (Buck Naked, Pink and Yellow Tapes) given an official release. |
