Cheers. Listening to it a bit after it came on spotify after midnight and more so today
The Wembley show is better than I thought it would be. Great version of 'Just My Imagination'. Not quite on the level of Hampton' 81 but raggedly glorious all the same.
(EDIT - it seems that 'She's So Cold' is from the 25/6/82 show. They didnt use the butchered 26/6/82 version. The rest of the songs used are from 26/6/82)
Nice to hear the outtakes. I like that version of 'Start me up', notwithstanding the fact that its totally artificial to put new vocals and completed lyrics on a take that's been passed off as being supposed to be a work in progress
Its a Lie and Fiji Jim have long been two of my favourite outtakes even though it was obvious that they couldnt really release them in the form that they circulated in. They've done a good job with them, even though its evident some of the lyrics are new (there's even a reference to 'ebay' which makes it pretty clear it wasn't written in 1977!)
9 songs and under 40 minutes of music does make you feel a bit shortchanged though, especially as the 8 'new' tracks almost certainly were never worked on or shortlisted for 'Tattoo You' to begin with. Its basically a collection of leftover songs from 1973-79, some of which they didn't even use for the GHS and SG reissues. Taking that into account, its hard to imagine where they'll go next with these reissues.
There isnt really much left from IORR or Black and Blue. There's a chunk of material from ER, UC, DW and VL but there's hardly going to be a demand for a reissue of those records.
Maybe an expanded release covering a period of years (a la Neil Young's 'Archives' or Dylan's recent 'Springtime in New York') is the way to go forward with these
