Re: (TV) 1986 lost album

[Phil Obbard <pobbard@yahoo.com>]

Funny -- this is the same disc I put together about ten years ago, except someone has added the FLASHLIGHT version of "Scientist" into the running order. On my original disc, track #4 is the "Paris Version" of "Scientist" (released as a b-side); I did not include the FLASHLIGHT version of "Scientist". In the disc on Hungercity, someone has possibly put the FLASHLIGHT version as track #4 and the "Paris Version" as track #10 (or else they have mixed-up labeling of the two versions).

That's not the entire "lost" album sessions, just the material that was released as b-sides between 1987 and 1990. I agree it's quite good, although I think FLASHLIGHT is stronger overall (even if individual tracks like "Anna" and "Vanity Fair" really deserved better than being b-sides).
