Might thy aural newbies tickle my eye

Have not been much into hunting records as of late, but found this goodie yesterday. It was in a box of lps marked "$5 Each" so I almost didn't even bother looking. Vinyl is much cleaner than the jacket. Not the coolio mono promo, but things like this are tough to find on the ground out thissa way.

Ace/Big Beat is releasing a 2 cd set of this lp and tons of killer alternate and unreleased stuff from the same period. All from 1st generation masters.

As far as I'm concerned, I avoid like the plague any re-release with bonus / alternates etc. At the time I was still spinning some cds, I used to program the CD player so that the play sticks to the original track listing and stops before the bloody bonus. it's OK if those bonus are featured on a separate disc, but such a drag when you can't avoid them. For the same reason, I avoid any LP repress featuring some bonus tracks.. that's just KILLING the original LP. Sometimes, the bonus tracks are even featured at the end of side A, i.e. in the middle of the play, that's just criminal.
Bonus tracks / alternates / unreleased versions etc etc… it seems now just impossible to "just" listen to an album the way it was originally released. What's the point. And how often are you *really* gonna play all that stuff ? An album is cool as long as it last 30 minutes at max from the start of side A till the end of side B…. why why why having to fill the wax (or an awful CD, or even a double CD) with as many hours of sound as possible, and make it at the end as fatty and obese as a current (mainstream) release ?

Fuckin' A:yikes:
 
I would say that 95% of 1960s LPs had no planning from the band in regard to sequencing. Maybe some of the private press LPs - the Rising Storm seems to have some decent track ordering. Especially the US releases of UK artists. I can't say anything about Sean Bonniwell (RIP) and his intent (or none) for the BMM LP but considering all the archival projects he was involved with he certainly didn't seem to think the record was something sacred (correct me if I am wrong).

Getting all worked up about keeping original track order is about your personal experience and not really about the music's revelancy.

Hum, in my opinion, yes an "original" track listing is bloody sacred indeed !! … but I think most will disagree here, as this list devoted to lovers of the 7'' format, with an experience with music and format far different than those - like me - who've been spinning albums most of their life. For those, yes, track listing is utterly important. Especially when it comes to original albums. Which is why, for instance, the Beatles Capitol albums will be re-released soon. From what I could read on the web, there's a huge demand for them… on the american market: people want to listen to those albums the way they heard them back then. The UK albums are of no meaning to them. They want to retrieve the same thrills they experienced at the time they first listened to those albums. The fact that the band was or wasn't implied in the sequencing is a detail for musicologists only (The Beatles are a good example: their US albums were butchered): there was an album released anyway, offered to the public, who purchased it, loved it and spanned it a lot. THIS is what makes History. I could tell from the top of my head what's Chocolate Watch Band's No Way Out album track listing, from the first till the last without problem. Yes, that's a personal experience, but I guess that's far from being unique: I share the same experience with the hundreds who experienced and listened to this album as a whole. For Xsake, would you accept to listen to Easter Everywhere with some bloody bonus / alternate stuff tossed at the end of side A after Baby Blue ? Or a side B no beginning with Earthquake ?
Once again, the fact that you're a 7'' crew is probably the reason why you don't care about that all, as you consider and experience the music on a track by track basis.

Good deal. I found my C8 copy at a flea market for $7.
 
I got this one that does not show up on popsike when I looked. Does anyone know if this has sold on ebay before?
