Disappointing release decisions

[Curtis Leon]

Trying to clear up some of the confusion re: He's a Bum, I took another listen to my Bambu boot, and, surprise, the vocal track is slightly different. One example that sticks out in my mind is that the lyrics on the first verse are slightly different. On the Legacy version, it's "But that's alright, that's alright, it's alright". On the version I've attached here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ire2njxkt9yym34 , it's "But HE'S alright, it's alright, it's alright". There are also lots of other differences, but the poor quality of the song in general makes it hard to discern what.

Is this the version you were talking about, Disney Boy?

On the topic of disappointing releases, I'm a tad disappointed that there appears to be nothing from our boys on Record Store Day:

Ideal opp to get a bit of publicity and hook into the indie cred that tends to go hand in hand with indie stores and vinyl. They scored a hit last year with the Vibes/heroes 2x10" ep ... Have they dropped that ball for 2012?

I'm really disappointed as well. Seems like a great opportunity wasted on their part. Would have been a great publicity considering RSD is right before the tour kicks off.

I agree, at least put the new recording of Do It Again on 45...maybe have the b-side be a rarity in collorlation with the original b-side to DIA (Wake the World)..maybe the vocals only of it? heck, it's a short song, have a vocals on one speaker and instrumental track on the other.

I for one would like to speak up for the reissue of the Today/Summer Days and Smiley Smile/Wild Honey sets as double cds with mono/stereo mixes like Pet Sounds with bonus tracks. There is already a dynamite start toward toward this type of issue, and it would be a great step forward.
