Errors / Issues on 'The Lot' (First Edition)

Another difference I've found from the original Happiness album (not sure if to call them "mistakes" though): Everybody Hurts and Murdoch are few seconds longer, which means they have both an "extended" final.

Yes, it was mentioned before and it's the one of the most exciting things about the new remasters.

It seems a bit unlikely that all the errors in the list will be corrected.
I'm sure more will be found, even after the '2nd edition' is released.
I'll continue updating post #1, perhaps Team RT can use it as some sort of reference.
We can live in hope I suppose.

Yes, it's great idea and effort from you!

... so you can keep the list up to date :)

Some errors I've found, not very bad but the multitude of them is a bit shocking.
Titles are not written in the same style, sometimes prepositions are in small letter, sometimes in capitol Man on Fire, Heaven for Everyone)

RHYS THOMAS INTRO
- Heaven For Everyone misses second apostrophe - 'Heaven For Everyone
- "Masters of War" is put in quotation marks instead of aphostrophes (as is done with all songs)
- 'Everybody Hurts Sometimes' has 's' letter which is not in the song title.
- 'Dear Mr. Murdoch' has dot after 'Mr' and in other placs it does not have the dot.
- 'Nation of Haircuts' misses 'A' letter at the beginning
- 'Where are You Now' has small letter in 'are'
- Despite the before mentioned 'colle' insted of 'collection' is 'The Lot,' (where is this comma put?) and the rest of the sentence follows the next line although there is space in the same line.

TRACKLISTING INSIDE THE BOOK
RT Solo Singles 1
- all song names are in small letter except strange Frontier with Frontier in capitol letter
- when listing everybody hurts sometime is written pic disk, next to old friends is pic disc

RT Solo Singles 2
- keep a knockin' does not meet the guidelines of additional information put in brackets, it says:
keep a knockin' - pressure on CD (Man Utd CD single) while all the songs have it like this:
people on streets (mashed) (B-side of pressure on), some songs have 'On' added like this:
a nation of haicuts (club cut)
(On surrender part 1 CD single)
- Strangely written is also woman you're so beautiful name, because the mix type does not follow immediately, it says:
woman you're so beautiful
felix + arty (main mix)

The Cross Singles 1
- love lies bleeding says in bracket: (B side of cowboys) - where is 'and indians'?
- Besides that B-side is sometimes written as B-side, sometimes B side (with no dash).
- "Remixed Record" instead of "Remixed Records"
- strange is also the order of the singles in charge of my heart and liar: in charge (single), liar (12"), in charge (extended), liar (7")

The Lot DVD
In Interviews & Electronic Press Kits section no mention of the 'Blue Rock' EPK BUT The Cross section says:
7 new dark - where is 'ages'?
8 blue rock- does anyone know of a song of this title?
and the second version of power to love is not mentioned here in the list
- no-one knows why Nazis 1994 follows Surrender, not the other way round.

ROGER TAYLOR bio part

- strange is the sentence: "All 8 tracks were written by Roger, and so too was an additional track (for the CD version only) 'The 2nd Shelf Mix' - it does not tell The 2nd Shelf Mix is in fact 'Shove It' so of course it is also written by Roger, no need to mention that when you know it's Shove It mix.

- 'Golden Rose Rock Festival' in Montreux, (and the rest of the sentence is written in a new paragraph)

THAT'S ALL FROM ME NOW

So many errors!!

Something new about DVD.

My Country I & II has more issues than only two, I've just counted 5 slow-downs.

That's some list RMT Fan. But isn't it capital letters? : )
You just know somebody is going to proof read YOUR post now ! LOL

I knew it would end like that! But remember, this is just a post, not a rather expensive commercial product, I just wanted to point out, that it wasn't prepared with due diligence which is a shame - I've looked so much forward to that box although I already had all the albums in different formats.

^ Very true words.
I think Team RT have found their proof readers in this very thread.
Kudos to you all.

Well how could so many typos end on the final version of the box? If the original written file was so researched with care and hard work (as GT stated) I don't know how a (supposedly) simple cut & paste could screw up so many things.

In the end the ones to blame are the fans, me included, who kept and keep buying amateurish products.

And by the way who cares? As GT said enjoy the music

...on a crappy product


P.S. I'm not blaming GT for the end result of 'The Lot'...certainly his "as long as you have the music who cares?" philosophy got me pissed off

Don't know why they didn't ask Gary or Greg to go through it. I'm sure one of them would have spotted the errors.

RMT Fan: Thanks for your list; excellent work. The grammatical and punctuation errors really annoy me (and that's without the additional actual factual errors you have listed too!).

Most of the errors are avoidable with just a basic level of proof reading, which I think we can categorically state now simply doesn't take place.

Would be interesting to see if these are corrected in the 'fixed' version, but as GB has said they are probably at the printers already, I fear not.

Cheers
