wow, i haven't even listened to them yet!!!
i hope someone's keeping track of all these..
by the way.... i remember a lot of 'bonus' tracks and 'bonus' cds
that were packaged in the japanese / european [german]/ australian
releases... (some were re-issues)... i remember a japanese
2cd set of 'second toughest in the infants' that had
born slippy (short), pearls girl 14996 and puppies:

... also, 'dubnobasswithmyheadman'
had 'why why why' and 'rez' on it :
http://www.discogs.com/Underworld-Du...release/901889
i don't remember anyone complaining (ok, there might have been a few),
that asked why these weren't included, or alternate versions etc..
well, they didn't have enough space...
slightly different issue ... i know these alternate verrsions / demos are
a whole different set ... but there were prototypes made for 'dubnobasswithmyheadman',
and 'beaucoup fish' that didn't make it into the public, and plenty of extra/different mixes
of tracks that were on vinyl only, or compilations that could have been on albums..
ultimately it's not our decision, and never was.. besides the artistic statement,
a lot of it has to do with the business perspective..
what if we never got a 2nd bonus disc of alternate takes, and those were released
on the web only... would we all have the same opinions? or would the same
arguments apply?
later
