Reissues project
Re: Reissues project
Yes I'm more than fine with. Elysium's Further Listening disc is really bare, just as I feared. I was hoping if any were a thing, demos from The Most Incredible Thing, and The Man From The Future would be but it's not to be.
I'm a proud sycophant because I like Wedding in Berlin

Maybe they are keeping those tracks to work on further in the future. Or they're poor quality demos.E-Mail Vampire wrote: ↑Thu 31 Aug 2017, 11:53 am I am baffled that they haven't decided to do anything with The Next Big Thing, Random, I'm Not Crying I'm Laughing, Pedal. Both of these are disappointing. The only thing that saves them is the inclusion of The Loving Kind and Vocal (Demo)
Re: Reissues project
As Neil said in the recent Further Listening interview, it has to be of "Master Quality"... even Chris said so.bookshopboy wrote: ↑Thu 31 Aug 2017, 12:11 pmMaybe they are keeping those tracks to work on further in the future.

Re: Reissues project
At last they're pointing out the booklets, which somehow aren't mentioned on the stickers for Nightlife/Release/Fundamental.The CD format will include an extensive booklet, designed by Farrow, which features exclusive interviews, archive photographs and sleeve notes.
Re: Reissues project
Yes (no pun), the "Yes" bonus content is quite disappointing. However I'm very happy with the "Elysium" one, I've always wanted to hear "In slow motion", such an intriguing title. And from what we know "She pops" is un-Elysium as can be...

Re: Reissues project
True I suppose but they way they speak about some of the tracks I would imagine some are close to Master quality and if they spent a little time on them. Anyway over the 5 releases, the tracks I am most surprised at being ommitted are :-
NIGHTLIFE
-I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Any More. (Action Man Mix) (Neil had previously said it would probably be on Nightlife FL)
- Unbelievable Scenes (seeing as it was turned into Fugitive and parts from original version used in Footsteps)
- Love Letters
- Midlife Crisis (A C2H Demo)
- Nu Sleaze (Evolved into Burn)
RELEASE
- Diddly Squat/All Or Nothing
- Only Love
- E-Mail (Demo)
- For Every Moment
FUNDAMENTAL
- The Day Before Tomorrow
- I'm With Stupid (Demo)
- Indefinite Leave To Remain (Demo)
- Dirty Tricks
- China
YES
- Even (A demo idea for the ballet)
- Friendship (evolved into Did you see me coming?? Possibly More Mix)
- I'm Not Crying I'm Laughing (AOTW Demo)
- The Next Big Thing (Neil describes it as "actually quite good,")
- Where The Wild Things Are (MTAD Demo)
- King Of Pop (KOR Demo)
- Moronic
- Pedal (Almost used in the ballet)
- Random
- You're the Exception That Proves the Rule (Demo for Kylie and music used in the Ballet)
ELYSIUM
- Heads Will Roll (Neil was keen to include it on the album)
- No More Ballads (written during this era)
NIGHTLIFE

Re: Reissues project
The Youtube promo includes only "The loving kind" (I assume Parlo doesn't want to promote an X2 track) and it sounds a bit stiff. Chris didn't like it, did he?

Re: Reissues project
I think they don't like very much to document the "work in progress" of a song if the demo's not advanced enough or if they used it for other tracks. It's quite a selective criterium but I can see the sense in it. Having said that, the biggest omission is probably "I'm not crying I'm laughing", which might be a complete demo. I though they were going to include it, especially since they put "No excuse" on Release FL...E-Mail Vampire wrote: ↑Thu 31 Aug 2017, 12:53 pm True I suppose but they way they speak about some of the tracks I would imagine some are close to Master quality and if they spent a little time on them.

No-one mentions Particle here?

Re: Reissues project
The "Elysium" cover revisited reminds somehow of the concept for Bowie's "The next day" artwork, even though "Elysium" came out first... And the empty white square doesn't look centered.

Re: Reissues project
I don't know why so many people expect so many unheard tracks to appear on these - the original six FL issues only had demos of songs we'd heard in another format before.
Re: Reissues project
I think we're being spoiled rotten! I think they like to make it a high-quality listening experience, they've said they like the Further Listening discs to work as albums in themselves, so if tracks have been omitted it'll be because they don't think they're good enough, or maybe they want to use them in the future. I don't think it's a case of them not thinking to include things.
I'm intrigued to hear the 'Vocal' demo - has anyone pre-ordered and heard it?

Re: Reissues project
I think PSB are holding back the 'Yes' era demos for future PSB albums, I don't believe Neil when he said they are not of 'master quality'.
