    Songs That Didn't Make It to 'SBS'?

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Here's a question for the Wilco brethren that stay on top of their shows...

     

    I know that Wilco performs/ed a great deal of the new material that made it onto 'SBS' but was wondering...

     

    Are there new songs (or even old ones) that they've been playing that we haven't seen recorded yet?

     

    I also know some non-album tracks have surfaced--like "One True Vine" (from a promo), "The Thanks I Get" (bonus download from 'SBS' CD), and "Let's Not Get Carried Away" (iTunes bonus track)--but are there others?

     

    THANKS!

    'Sky Blue Sky' bonus promo question...

    I was fortunate enough to get the promo cd with my purchase of 'Sky Blue Sky', and am grateful for the promo's non-album tracks "One True Vine" and the live version of "Theologians" but was hoping for some help with the latter--does anyone know from what show it's from--date and place? Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

    Promo LPs

    Did you try google? Not being smart - just asking.

     

    Yeah, I scoured and googled like crazy before posting. Then just recently had some luck: the "Soil X Sample" record came out in 1995. Songs included were 'Childlike & Green' and 'Someone Else's Song'--along with a non Wilco track--Poster Children's 'He's My Star'.

     

    But still no luck with the "All Over the Place" promo lp. I wonder if it's part of something else, like Summerteeth's promo bonus disc 'and sum aren't' or the bonus discs for YHF or AGIB.

    I'm just doing some research and was hoping for some help, a lil' intel... Just a couple of questions:

     

    1. Can anyone report the release date for the "Soil X Sample" 45 lp? Even if it's just the year--that's cool.

     

    2. I'd love to know more about the lp promo entitled "All Over the Place" --also, even if it's just including year of release.

     

    Bottom line: I'd love to know as much as possible about these records!!!!!!

     

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!

     

    Thanks.

    "Summerteeth and Some Aren't" Promo CD?

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    From what I know about it (and from looking at my copy), it was a two-disc promo set put out by Warner Music Canada to promote Summerteeth.

     

    Disc 1 is basically an advance copy of the record.

     

    Disc 2 (the "and sum aren't" part of the title) is a mish-mash of album tracks and some live cuts. Here's the tracklisting--I'm sure this exists somewhere else, but I'm too lazy to go searching around for it:

     

    1) I Must Be High (album version)

    2) Pick Up The Change (album version)

    3) Passenger Side (album version)

    4) Monday (demo version)

    5) I Got You (At The End of the Century) (album version)

    6) Hotel Arizona (album version)

    7) Outta Site (Outta Mind) (live version from 6-7-97; Wilcobase doesn't list a show for that date, so maybe it was a private industry thing?)

    8) Someone Else's Song (album version)

    9) Red Eyed and Blue (live version--disc says recorded live at C'est What in Toronto 1997, but I'm assuming it's from the Jeff and Jay show there on 11-20-96)

    10) Box Full of Letters (live version--disc says recorded live at C'est What in Toronto 1997, but I'm assuming it's from the Jeff and Jay show there on 11-20-96)

    11) Why Would You Wanna Live (album version)

    12) Forget The Flowers (live version--disc says recorded live at C'est What in Toronto 1997, but I'm assuming it's from the Jeff and Jay show there on 11-20-96)

    13) The Lonely 1 (album version)

    14) Sunken Treasure (live version--disc says recorded live at C'est What in Toronto 1997, but I'm assuming it's from the Jeff and Jay show there on 11-20-96)

    15) At My Window Sad And Lonely (album version)

    16) Blasting Fonda (non-album track)

     

    Very cool. Is it a double disc--looks like a single disc, but is a double--and the album art is the standard Summerteeth? Or special art?

    "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Engineer's Demos" Analysis?

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Okay, good news and bad news...

     

    First off, yes "Nothing Up My Sleeve" is really skippy and chalk full of glitches and the tape cuts off abruptly on "Venus Stop the Train" (although some copies have it faded out)--so that's a bummer. Now for good news: both of these songs are the same versions found on the "YHF Demos" boot. Sooooo, do a little swingin' between both discs and whoa-la! Problem solved. Well, kinda...

     

    I listened very carefully to my FLAC-sourced copy and Boots's mp3 copy and there's still a couple of very minor glithches remaining. Some sonic pops occur on:

     

    "Cars Can't Escape" at 0:58 and at 1:29

    "Pot Kettle Black" at 3:34

    *Times are approximate--going off of my CD player.

     

    There might be more--these are just the ones I caught.

     

    Yesssss, I know I'm being picky.

     

    I just wish I was saavy with some program to clean all of this up.

    Blue "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"?

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    I seem to recall seeing "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" also released in blue-tint background instead of the regular yellow-ish/tan-ish back ground. Same cover with the buildings--just a different, colored background tint: blue.

     

    Anybody have one of these?

     

    Is there a story behind it---or was this just a limited run (for whatever reason)?

     

    Thanks.

    "Summerteeth and Some Aren't" Promo CD?

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    I was just reading over some of the source material used for the "Complete Singles" compilation discs and noticed four songs hailing from a promo disc entitled "Summerteeth and Some Aren't". Does anyone know anything about this promo? Also, from what show do these songs date from?

     

    For the record, songs used from it on the "Complete Singles" compilation included:

     

    Red Eyed & Blue [live Tweedy Bennett Solo]

    Box Full of Letters [live Tweedy Bennett Solo]

    Don't Forget the Flowers [live Tweedy Bennett]

    Sunken Treasure [live Tweedy Bennett Solo]

     

    Thanks.

    Did you try emailing the Radio Station? They are generally pretty cool there. Except as of the last 5 years the music has gone down hill. I would try Joe Lambert, he is a big Wilco fan and the best DJ on that station. Their Website is 1055triplem.com.

     

    On a side note, I was actually at in studio performance. It was really cool and low key. Though the interview part was awful.

     

    "Dwight, at 8am today, someone poisons the coffee. DO NOT DRINK THE COFFEE. More instructions will follow. Cordially, Future Dwight."

     

    Nice avatar!

     

    Thanks for the radio station suggestion. I'll give it a shot. Cool about the in-studio performance! I'm envious:)

    PS. If I'm successful with obtaining the song, I'll post it here. However, if anyone does have the song, anyway--if you could--please post it here. Thanks.

    Team Wilco,

     

    I'm on the home stretch with acquiring all the random Wilco bits 'n bobs and would love some help. I'm trying to get an mp3 of "I'm the Man Who Loves You" (Live 7-31-2002 105.5 WMMM, Madison, WI)--found on the Live from Studio M vol.2 compilation album.

     

    I know this cd is out of print, but I just can't seem to find it anywhere, anyway. Not even ebay.

     

    If anyone has it, could they either post the link or email me with this sucker? I'd really-really-really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    THANKS!

     

    --Mark
