Re: (TV) 1986 lost album

[Phil Obbard <pobbard@yahoo.com>]

It was that NO DEPOSIT, NO RETURN boot that spurred me to make the VANITY FAIR disc (aka "The Lost Album"). That disc was awful -- first, it included six tracks from a FLASHLIGHT promo that claimed to be alternate mixes but are 100% identical to the FLASHLIGHT mixes (and I know, because I painstakingly compared them all). Second, the actual rare b-sides it included were pretty low-fidelity. Third, it had the cheapest cover art, ever. I was pretty proud of my VANITY FAIR cover art, esp. the back cover, which used scans taken from the "Quote/Unquote" promo booklet and some other promo materials for FLASHLIGHT that made reference to the "lost" album. 

Ah, back when I had lots of free time to screw around with custom CDs!

Weird.  I think my custom version is kicking around out there as well, but
this ain't it.  It was a mix of my own personal vinyl rips with tracks from
CD's (Miller's Tale and in one case, I think, the crappy No Deposit No
Return boot), and a bunch of bonus tracks (mostly digitized non-Lost Album
b-sides and stray compilation tracks).
