Title: Training Wheels Outtakes
Post by Potted Shrimp on Jan 30^th, 2009 at 6:50am

Well, just listened to them, they sound good.
But I think two songs were available before
on the Monitor Mixes:

- Blinded By Love
- Hold on to your Hat

The intro (talk / tuning) is longer on the
Training Wheels versions, but the tracks
are the same.

Listening to them now. Sound maybe isnt as pristine as the Monitor Mixes but it's still really nice.

Both boots make you wonder what might have been with this album had they kept this rawer sound instead of the 'slick' style on the released version, which has resulted in it ageing as prematurely as the skin of an albino on a sunbed.

I also like the fact that Keith's 'lead bicycle' contribution to this version of 'Continental Drift' is more prominent...

...and there's another 6 minutes and 27 seconds of evidence that leaving off their glorious cover of 'For Your Precious Love' was an appalling error of judgement. Shimmeringly fucking beautiful.
