Thanks for the update Fotz.

I wonder why they were changed.

I suspect it's merely a mistake, no different than the variations of In a Lonely Place.

Thanks, that seemed more likely to me.
It's one thing to miss spotting a mix that has a few thunderclaps a bit higher in the mix, and allowing that slip out.
It seems another entirely to miss spotting mixes that have additional guitar parts.

If we were back in the Factory days though, I'd totally believe it was a mistake.

I've sent you a PM.

Just replayed the vinyl versions and actually, I think the verse intro just before the vocals start is four bars longer than the digital version - although I haven't double checked the digital mix yet

If anyone has access to a reasonable scanner, and also has the vinyl, any chance of a scan of the Mute sticker?
There’s a sample photo a page or so back, which gives an idea of what it’s like. Would just be nice to get an actual scan.

I just bought the FLACs of the ‘digital’ versions and thought it might be nice to have a copy of the sticker scan for the appropriate folder.




PS 10 pages of discussion of one track. Most of it positive too (although negative opinions are good too). That’s pretty decent and proves that we all still love the band.

The five of them need to take heed and start working on some other tracks. <fingers crossed>

Crikey!

Talk about being a fun-sponge.

Mm. What about THE CHRISTMAS RANGE!

So those of us who paid f**k-all for the download have got a more "complete music" than those who forked out for the vinyl. Lovely.



I don't always agree with -1 but he has some fair points. Somewhere on here I mentioned that an AOC writing session makes the hairs on my arms stand up in a way that BAR just doesn't. I stand by that. Also thinking back to Music Complete, I don't think any of the album tracks had ten pages of thread dedicated to them, and yet most of those tracks are better than this one. Now if Unlearn This Hatred or Nothing But A Fool had just been released for the first time, I would personally be much more excited than I currently am...


Haha! Hooky mentioned that Bernard realised the power of the NO name during the Bad Loo period. The branded wallets, bags and PCL socks certainly show that NO aren't afraid to cash in on the name these days.



As you allude to in your own comments those militant voices probably aren't gonna stop "pipe and slippers time". I suspect Bernard et al will listen to us about as much as they listen to social media comments saying "bury the hatchet with Hooky".
If everyone said "Im not gonna buy another NO gig ticket until they release a new album", it might have an effect. But we have two hopes of that happening. And Bob Hope is already a gonner...

I wouldn't disagree with what -1 is saying.

I think I was just trying to see the positives out of this. 10 pages is pretty good for a thread on these boards. There's so little being discussed 'round here these days, with only a handful of us regularly posting. Imagine if either Be A Rebel or the PC&L set hadn't been released this year. I'm not sure where our energies would've been focussed on. Probably not on these boards, sadly.

As I mentioned, all comments are good, both positive and negative. It's just great to have some discussion.


negative1 - My 'fun sponge' comment was made with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
I was just jokingly reacting to the fact that you'd brought me back down to Earth with a bump, using a good solid dose of 'fact'. :-)

Incoming:

there would still be 10 pages of discussion between just the
few people that constantly post. like us, because we talk about
little detail.

half of these pages are filled with. when is it coming out, i ordered it,
i got it, i hate it, etc........ so that's not really adding much.

as far as discussion goes, we're discussing the discussion of the discussion.
kinda meta right.

anyways, back to cataloging tracks.

later
