The Lot - iTunes samples

Can't believe this hasn't got a topic already!

So, what so we think?

Admittedly only listened to on iPhone earpieces from the samples, but Blue Rock finally had some bottom end!

Interestingly, FOE is only presented in its 13 track version, not the supposed 15 track edition, so have QPL or iTunes cocked up there?[/QUOTE]

The two extra tracks are for the box set only.

I'm aware of this Gary, but it IS the box set version of Fun On Earth that I am referring to with these previews, not the standalone 13 track Fun on Earth, so I am not sure why these two tracks are missing from the previews.

Can you also comment at all on the variant 'Pressure On' version?

Thanks

It's probably for the physical box set only.
I will ask Josh about the 'Pressure On' track.

double post

Thanks Gary - much appreciated

The lot has now disappeared from iTunes......

How bizarre. Would be good know the reason why. I can't think there's any rights issues - perhaps 'Pressure On' is not the right mix after all, and part of it that was not included on the iTunes sample differs massively from the correct 'Electric Fire' version?

Hopefully not and it's something simple; Gary - any idea what's going on please??

It's back on iTunes now.

I don't know anything about the itunes situation.

A reply from Josh about 'Pressure On' though =

"That's an edit error . . .
Tell all the folks out there who spotted it they get a gold star and, well, . . it's a small piece of uniqueness . ."

Will it remain on the final product? Have to admit, would be nice to have this variant in full, kinda like the unintentional stripped back mix to the chorus, as it makes for a better dynamic in some way :-)

^ ditto

Nice to know from Josh; thanks Gary.

Sadly it's further proof that there really isn't much that goes on in the way of proofing final releases - I'll stick this version on my shelf along with my Jealousy remaster with the missing kick drum beat, and my half an interview!! :-)

Shall we also all have a little wager to see how many more 'unique' versions we find when we can listen to the whole box?!! ??

Surprised that something this obvious slips through (again).
