Worth it if it's got nice sounding masterings of the Kamera stuff

*some of the b-sides
― Colonel Poo, Monday, 18 September 2017 15:32 (six years ago) link
absolutely fucking killing me that they didn't include this:

wtf no "The Knight, The Devil, And Death" either
etc etc etc

Has that so what abt it single been on any of the expanded albums or earlier comps? I fucking LOVE that song
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Monday, 18 September 2017 16:17 (six years ago) link
no, it really bums me out that those remixes are only on a ridiculously rare promo whitelabel
I also love it, great album opener
― sleeve, Monday, 18 September 2017 16:20 (six years ago) link
oh I'm wrong, it's here!

Yeah, I got that last week. Not played it yet but.
The singles seem to be representing the 7" singles, mostly.
― Mark G, Monday, 18 September 2017 23:21 (six years ago) link
not sure why they split the b-sides from the a-sides here, that seems weird. but cool. I'm not going to buy this, but I will stream it.

I can imagine me sorting the tracks back into order..
Having said that, the aside sequences of any of the first three are v.strong
― Mark G, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 06:47 (six years ago) link
Oh look, "Rude (all the time)", only came out on limited (500) 7", currently more expensive than the price of this box set..
― Mark G, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 06:54 (six years ago) link
are CDs still a thing? Records for me pls - also the Peel session boxset would be th most stupendous thing on record. By Xmas would be great - many thx.

The Ed's Babe b-sides (including "The Knight The Devil & Death" are here:

Also on the Listening In (Lost Singles Tracks 1990-92) compilation, a great way to hoover up a bunch of that stuff.
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 11:13 (six years ago) link
there we go, that's what I need. used to have the Ed's Babe CD single but sold it.
― sleeve, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 14:06 (six years ago) link
It's a great CD; Conway Paton put it together. The Fall: Early Singles is good too but I still hope there might be better sources out there for those kamera sides (which are sometimes my very favorite fall stuff, period)
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 14:46 (six years ago) link
speaking of Kamera releases, does the legendary withdrawn "Marquis Cha-Cha"/"Room To Live" single have the same versions as the LP?
Sometimes Look, Know/I'm Into C.B. is my favorite Fall single
― sleeve, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 14:49 (six years ago) link
you guys have to buy this too. you have to buy everything.

hmm yeah that one's a bit more comprehensive but it's really just the three 2CD reissues in a box, unlike Jon's single-disc comp it has "Arid Al's Dream" so I will probably end up with the 6CD set...
― sleeve, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 16:50 (six years ago) link
Yeah fucking Arid Al's Dream which is probably my favorite of all the 90s odds and sods
I think it also turned up one other place. The sanctuary Box Set?
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 17:24 (six years ago) link
It's on the indispensable "A World Bewitched 1990-2000" comp.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 17:59 (six years ago) link
Oh yeah! That comp really is excellent. It looks like it's going to be one of those many ripoff comps but it's awesome
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 18:02 (six years ago) link
Can only underline how great A World Bewitched is. I've handed it to a couple of people not familiar with the Fall as a portal into their work and I've had about a 50% success rate. Which is not half bad is it?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 19:14 (six years ago) link
argh I need that one eventually for the collaboration tracks on the 2nd disc.
― sleeve, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 19:22 (six years ago) link
You really do! It's amazing how MES can make any band into The Fall.
And my favorite 90s oddity is "Noel's Chemical Effluence". Totally alien sounding.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 21:25 (six years ago) link
that song is so goddamn great.
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 22:12 (six years ago) link
originally from The 27 Points, right? I think that's the only version out there.
― sleeve, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 22:13 (six years ago) link
yes

thanks to this thread I snarfed up used copies of the 2CDs for Extricate and Shift-work from a US address with cheap shipping, looking forward to finally hearing those "So What About It" remixes
― sleeve, Thursday, 21 September 2017 22:06 (six years ago) link
really want to hear "Where's The Fuckin Taxi? Cunt (Mix 17)" - also not on this new box which is especially annoying because they do include one of the four tracks from the CD release

Sounds more or less exactly half bad, one way or another.
